NO. 15149 OF 2007 --------------------- Dated this the 14th day of September, 2007 J U D G M E N T The prayer in this writ petition is for issuance of duplicate copy of the RC book, which has been declined by the respondent on the ground that the appellate authority did not find that the RC book is irrecoverably lost. Petitioner has produced Ext.P4 enquiry report of the Sub Inspector of Police, Pattambi, which certifies that despite enquiry is conducted by him he could not get any “clue” regarding the loss. The contents of the enquiry report shows that the RC book is lost and is not recoverable. In the light of this, Ext.P6 is quashed and the respondent will reconsider the request of the petitioner and pass orders for the issuance of duplicate RC book. The writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE vps ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE OP NO.16383/98 JUDGMENT 5TH SEPTEMBER, 2007
