THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 14/06/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: THOMAS P. JOSEPH, J. -------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.18407 of 2010 -------------------------------------- Dated this the 14th day of June, 2010. JUDGMENT Petitioner is defendant in O.S.No.990 of 2009 of the court of learned Munsiff, Thiruvananthapuram filed by respondents. According to the petitioner that suit is hit by principles of res judicata in view of the decision in O.S.Nos.244 of 1971, 412 of 1971 and 907 of 1972 filed by the predecessors-in-interest of respondents. To prove that, petitioner wanted a copy of relevant documents from the said three suits and made Exts.P5 to P7, applications. His grievance is that the certified copy has not so far been issued to him. Petitioner seeks a direction to the learned Munsiff to issue copies of the relevant documents as prayed for in Exts.P5 to P7. Learned counsel contends that the said documents are necessary to prove the contention raised by petitioner in O.S.No.990 of 2009. Having regard to the circumstances, I direct the learned Munsiff, Thiruvananthapuram to issue certified copies of the documents (in O.S.Nos. 244 of 1971, 412 of 1971 and 907 of 1972 ) as prayed for in Exts.P5 to P7, applications as early as possible if the applications are in order and, on usual terms. Writ Petition is disposed of accordingly. THOMAS P.JOSEPH, Judge. cks
