PETITIONER(S): --------------- GANGA BAI, D/O.AMMUKUTTY AMMA, GEETHA GARDENS, LAW COLLEGE ROAD, VIKAS BHAVAN P.O., THIRUVANANTHAPURAM. BY ADV.

THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 07/04/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: sou. P. BHAVADASAN, J --------------------------- W.P.(C).No.12031 OF 2010 ----------------------------------- Dated this the 7th day of April, 2010 J U D G M E N T The limited prayer in the petition is for a direction to the District Court, Thiruvananthapuram to issue a certified copy of judgment and decree in A.S.257/07 within a specified time. 2. The petitioner was the respondent in A.S.257/07on the file of District Court, Thiruvananthapuram. The petitioner had instituted O.S.326/02 before the Sub Court, Thiruvananthapuram. The suit was for specific performance of an agreement for sale. The trial court decreed the suit granting specific performance. Copy of the said judgment and decree is produced as Ext.P1. When execution petition was pending, the respondent filed A.S.257/09 and the appellate court was inclined to grant stay of the execution proceedings. Later, after considering the merits of the case W.P.(c) No.12031/10 2 the appeal was dismissed by the order dated 6.3.2010. The petitioner pointed out that on 12.3.2010 the petitioner filed an application for certified copy of judgment and decree. He has not received it so far. Even though the petitioner filed an application before the appellate court to have a direction to issue the same immediately, no orders have been passed in this petition. For want of judgment and decree execution petition is getting dragged on. Therefore, the petitioner seek for a direction to the court concerned to issue a copy of the judgment and decree. 3. In the light of an order which is proposes to be issued notice to respondents is unnecessary. 4. All that the petitioner has sought for is a direction to issue a certified copy of the judgment and decree. The petitioner had mentioned a number of copy application which he had filed for the same. Then he moved the appellate court for a direction to issue a certified copy W.P.(c) No.12031/10 3 immediately to enable him to get the order. There is no reason for not issuing the copy of judgment and decree especially when the respondent already had taken execution of decree and execution is pending. 5. In the above circumstances, there will be a direction to the District Court, Thiruvananthapuram to issue a certified copy of the judgment and decree in A.S.257/07 to the petitioner as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within two months from the date of reopening after summer vacation.
