PROCEEDING SHEET
Sl. OFFICE
DATE ORDER NOTE
No.
14. 23.09.2024 GN,J & KM,J
I.A.No.1 of 2024
We have perused the report of the
Registrar (Judicial) and the explanation submitted
by Smt.K.Sunitha, learned Judge, Principal
Family Court-IV Additional District Court,
Vijayawada.
It is submitted by the learned Judicial
Officer that the Judgment dated 14.12.2023, was
received by the District Court only on 01.04.2024,
i.e., after the delay of nearly three (03) months,
after this Court passed Judgment. She would
submit that, after issuance of notices to both
sides on 02.04.2024 by her predecessor,
commenced the enquiry on 15.04.2024. She took
charge only on 24.04.2024, and the Judgment of
this Court was not brought to her notice
immediately.
It is these omissions by the Registry should
have been supervised to ensure timely
compliance. The excuses set out by the learned
Judicial Officer clearly indicate a malice, which
unerringly points out finger at the Registry, both
at the High Court and the District Court.
In that view, the Registrar General is
2
directed to draw up S.O.P., for ensuring timely
compliance of the directions issued by this Court.
The report of the Registrar (Judicial) and
the explanation placed by the learned Judge,
Principal Family Court-IV Additional District Court,
Vijayawada is taken on record.
The explanation submitted by the learned
Judge, Principal Family Court-IV Additional
District Court, Vijayawada is accepted.
We have perused the report of the
Registrar (Judicial). None of the explanations
submitted in the report touched upon the fact of
the delayed communication of the Judgment,
whereunder a timeline was stipulated to complete
an exercise as directed by this Court.
The explanation submitted in the report,
prima facie, does not appear satisfactory.
Hence, for 'further orders', list the matter on
01.10.2024
.
In the meanwhile, the Registrar (Judicial) shall also place the report regarding the factors that delayed the communication of the Judgment and Decree to the concerned Court by the Registry of the High Court.
