        Dated this the 25th day of May, 2009

                    JUDGMENT

Petitioners belonging to the Christian

denomination have sought for registration of their

marriage under the Cochin Christian Civil Marriage

Act. They have given notice regarding the same.

They are aggrieved by the delay on the part of the

Registrar in proceeding to register their marriage

and take further steps under Section 7 of the Act.

Petitioners are entitled to get their marriage

registered and a similar issue has been considered

by this Court earlier.

2. I heard learned Government Pleader also. In

the result, writ petition is disposed of directing the

respondents to proceed further with Ext.P2 and

register the marriage of the petitioners and publish

the same in accordance with the provisions of the

Act.

V.GIRI,
Judge
