J U D G M E N T
Dated this the 11th day of August, 2021
Kauser Edappagath, J.
This Original Petition has been filed to give a direction to the
Family Court, Chavara to issue the certified copies of the decree
and judgment in OP (Div)No. 1089/2016 without any corrections
or overwriting.
2. The Original petitioner herein obtained a judgment for
dissolution of her marriage with her husband (respondent) from
the court below in OP (Div) No.1089/2016 on 29/7/2019. The
certified copy of the judgment and decree issued to the original
petitioner contained so many mistakes in the cause title. Hence,
she filed an application for correction and it was allowed.
Thereafter, the certified copies of the corrected decree and
judgment were issued to the original petitioner which were
marked as Exts. P5 and P6. A perusal of Exts.P5 and P6 would
show that it contains lot of corrections and overwriting.
According to the petitioner, as she wants to remove the name of
the respondent from the passport, she has to submit the decree
and the judgment before the Embassy at Israel and they insists
for a decree and judgment without corrections or overwriting. It OP(FC) No.387/2021
was in these circumstances, the Original Petition has been filed.
3. We have heard the learned counsel for the original
petitioner. We have perused Exts.P5 and P6. It is true that the
cause title of it contains lots of corrections and overwriting. In
fact, in the original petition filed by the original petitioner, correct
description of the parties were given in the cause title. But, there
was mistake on the part of the court while drafting the decree
and judgment, which was corrected later, on the application filed
by the petitioner. The petitioner has asserted that the judgment
and decree without correction and with correct particulars are
necessary for the presentation in Israel Embassy. Hence, we are
of the view that the prayer sought for is only to be allowed.
In the result, the original petition is allowed. The court
below is directed to issue a fresh certified copy of the decree and
judgment without any corrections or overwriting to the original
petitioner within two weeks.
