THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 28/02/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: Thottathil B. Radhakrishnan, J. =================================== W.P.(C)No.6766 of 2007 =================================== Dated this the 28th day of February, 2007. JUDGMENT It is the admitted case that the petitioners had undergone a marriage in the Church. Their marriage had been duly certified as per Ext.P1. Learned counsel for the petitioners could not show any provision under the Cochin Christian Civil Marriage Act, 1095 for registration of such a marriage. Under such circumstances, I am not persuaded to follow Ext.P6 judgment, which proceeds yet another judgment, which is not placed before me. At any rate, the statute does not envisage the registration of the marriage, which is also taken place unlike under the Special Marriage Act. Writ Petition fails. It is accordingly dismissed.
