J U D G M E N T In these cases, the grievance of the petitioners is that their notices for marriage under the Cochin Christian Civil Marriage Act are not being accepted and processed by the Marriage Officer. 2. At the time of admission, interim orders have been issued directing the Marriage Officer to accept the notices and to process the same in accordance with the provisions of the Cochin Civil Marriage Act. The law in this regard is settled by a decision of this Court, whereby this Court has held that the Marriage Officer is bound to accept the notices under the Cochin Civil Marriage Act and process the same in accordance with the said Act. That being so, no further orders are necessary in these writ petitions. Accordingly, these writ petitions are disposed of in terms of the interim orders in each of the writ petition. Sd/- S.
