It was ordered by the Land Tribunal to issue purchase certificate as per order in O.A.No.5043/1972. 2. Seeking for a direction to issue the purchase certificate, this Writ Petition has been filed. In the counter affidavit, the stand taken is that certificate was already issued. There was some delay on the part of the respondents to issue the copy of the purchase certificate for the reason that the original files were missing. Today, the learned Government Pleader submitted that the original files have been traced out and the duplicate copy of the purchase certificate can be issued to the petitioner in accordance with law. 3. Therefore, there will be a direction to the respondent to issue duplicate copy of the purchase certificate to the petitioner as per Rules within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The Writ Petition is disposed of as above. T.R.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, JUDGE dsn
