THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 22/09/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: P.R.RAMAN & T.R.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR,JJ. ------------------------------- W.P.(C)NO.27088 OF 2008 -------------------------------- Dated this the 22nd day of September, 2008 JUDGMENT Raman,J. Petitioner is the husband. Matrimonial disputes are pending before the Family Court, Alappuzha. Maintenance application filed by the wife was allowed. The main O.P. is for return of properties. The grievance of the petitioner is that certified copy of the order in M.C.No.66/2006 is not issued and he prays that the O.P. for return of properties shall not be proceeded with, until certified copy of the order in M.C.No.66/06 is issued. We do not find any connection with that. Admittedly there is no execution proceedings pursuant to the order passed in M.C.No.66/06. This Court directed the Registry to ascertain as to why the certified copy of the order in M.C.No.66/2006 is not issued. It is reported that M.C.No.66/06 was allowed on 29/4/08. Petitioner herein submitted an ordinary copy application on 9/6/08 and the fair copy of the judgment has -2- WP(C).No.27088/2008 not been taken up so far. The Family Court is now preparing the fair copies of the orders of July, 2007. 2. In the circumstances, we cannot attribute any inordinate delay on the part of the Family Court. However, since the M.C. was allowed on 29/4/2008 and even if the ordinary copy application is made, the Family Court ought to have issued copies thereof, since nearly 5 months have elapsed after the pronouncement of the order. 3. In the circumstances, we direct the Family Court, Alappuzha to issue certified copy of the order in M.C.No.66/06 as applied for expeditiously. Writ Petition is closed. P.R.RAMAN, Judge. T.R.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, Judge. kcv.
