IN THE HIGH COURT OF BOMBAY AT GOA MISC.CIVIL APPLICATION NO. 258 OF 2011 IN FIRST APPEAL NO. 266 OF 2003 JOAQUIM D'COSTA, PANAJI-GOA. ... Applicant Versus GIANA L. D'COSTA,CARANZALEM-GOA. ... Respondent Ms. Andrea Fernandes, Advocate for the applicant. Mr. S. Mahambrey, Advocate for the respondent. Coram:- F. M. REIS, J. Date:- 16th September, 2011 P.C. Heard Ms. A. Fernandes, learned Counsel appearing for the applicant and Shri S. Mahambrey, learned Counsel appearing for the respondent. 2. Both the learned counsel do not dispute that the matter in controversy in the First Appeal No. 266 of 2003 was amicably settled before the Lok Adalat Bench whereby inter-alia the decree passed by the learned Civil Judge Senior Judge, Panaji in Matrimonial Petition No. 46/2000/A granting divorce was confirmed on the ground of desertion. 3. It is the grievance of the learned Counsel appearing for the applicant that despite of the said decree, the Sub-Registrar concerned is refusing to cancel the registration of the marriage in the Marriage Registration Book for the year 1979. I find no reason for the Registrar to act in such a manner considering that in the judgment passed by the Civil Judge Senior Division, Panaji, there is a specific order to the effect that the marriage between the applicant and respondent is to be cancelled in the marriage book. As such, the Registrar is directed to comply with the said order and cancel the said marriage in accordance with law. 4. Misc. Civil Application stands disposed of accordingly. F. M. REIS, J. at*
