THIS OP (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 24.11.2021, THE
COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING:
OP(C) NO. 2125 OF 2021
5
JUDGMENT
Dated this the 24th day of November, 2021
The grievance of the petitioners is regarding the
trial court's refusal to issue certified copies of certain
documents produced from the Sub Registrar's Office,
Ramapuram at the petitioners instance. The request
for issuance of certified copies is declined for the
reason that the documents are summoned from the
Sub Registrar's Office for forwarding to the Forensic
Science Laboratory for expert opinion.
2. I find substantial merit in the contention of
the learned Counsel for the petitioners that, as per
Rule 239 of the Civil Rules of Practice, copies of the
documents filed in court as well as documents in the
custody of the court can be issued and there is no
provision under the Registration Act, which inhibits
issuance of copy of the deeds produced from the Sub
Registrar's Office.
The Original Petition is hence allowed. The
OP(C) NO. 2125 OF 2021
Munsiff's Court, Pala shall issue copies of the
documents applied for by the petitioners under
Ext.P4 application.
