Abstract

In this paper, cosmic distance duality relation is probed without considering any background cosmological model. The only \textit{a priori} assumption is that the Universe is described by the Friedmann-Lematre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) metric The strong gravitational lensing (SGL) data is used to construct the dimensionless co-moving distance function and latest type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) Pantheon+ data is used to estimate luminosity distances at the corresponding redshifts . Using the distance sum rule along null geodesics of the FLRW metric, the CDDR violation is probed in both flat and non-flat space-time by considering two parametrizations for , the function generally used to probe the possible deviations from CDDR. The results show that, CDDR is compatible with the observations at a very high level of confidence for linear parametrization in flat Universe. In non-flat Universe too, CDDR is valid within confidence interval with a mild dependence of on the curvature density parameter . The results for non-linear parametrization also show no significant deviation from CDDR.
