BY THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 06/11/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: M.N.KRISHNAN, J ===================== W.P.(C) No.32900 OF 2007 ===================== Dated this the 6th day of November 2007 JUDGMENT This writ petition is filed for a direction to the Sub Court-II, Ernakualm to engross the final decree in I.A.No.190 of 2004 in O.S.No.558 of 1988. A perusal of the writ petition would reveal that a preliminary decree was passed as early as on 20.9.1991 and the final decree has been passed on 19.12.2006. Learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that all the parties had produced the necessary stamp paper for engrossing the final decree as per the directions contained in the final decree. It is submitted that even as on today, it is not drafted. The parties are litigating for the last 16 years and they are expected to enjoy the usufructs of the decree and in order to enable them to do so, the final decree has to be engrossed in a stamp paper. Therefore, I direct the court below to bestow its best attention and direct the Registry of the said court to prepare the final decree in a stamp paper within a period of one month from today. WP(C) 32900/2007 -:2:- Writ petition is disposed of as above. M.N.KRISHNAN, JUDGE Cdp/-
