प्रमाणित प्रतिलिपि के लिए आवेदन: यह क्या है

An Application for Certified Copy is a short request to a court's copying section for an official copy of a judgment, order, deposition or other paper on the court record. The copy is stamped and signed as a true copy by the authorised court officer, so it can be filed in an appeal, review, execution or other proceeding and relied on as proof of the original.

• You want to file a review petition or revision and the court requires the impugned order to be annexed.
• You are starting execution and need a certified copy of the decree.
• A bank, registrar, passport office or another court asks for a certified copy of a court order, such as a divorce decree or succession certificate.

इसे कैसे भरें, हस्ताक्षर करें और उपयोग करें

1. 1Collect the exact case number, year, court and the date of the order or judgment you want, ideally from the cause list or the court's online case status.
2. 2Fill in the form on this page and check that the document description matches the record exactly, including dates.
3. 3Print and sign the application. If you are not a party to the case, check the local rules, as some courts ask third parties to explain their interest or obtain the court's permission.
4. 4Submit it at the copying section of the court and pay the copying charges and any court fee stamp the local rules require. Ask whether an urgent copy option is available if a deadline is close.
5. 5Keep the receipt or application number, because the date on it is used to work out the time spent obtaining the copy.
6. 6Collect the certified copy on the notified date, check that every page carries the certification and seal, and keep the original safe.

इसके पीछे का कानून

In civil cases, certified copies are issued under the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 and the civil rules of practice framed by each High Court, which set the copying charges, forms and timelines. In criminal cases, copies are governed by section 404 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 and the High Court rules made under it. These rules differ from state to state. Under the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023, a certified copy of a public document such as a court order can be produced as proof of its contents. The Limitation Act, 1963 excludes the time reasonably taken to obtain a certified copy when calculating the limitation period for an appeal or review, which is why the application date matters.

बचने के लिए आम गलतियाँ

• Giving a wrong case number or order date, which sends the request back or produces a copy of the wrong document.
• Applying late, after the appeal period has largely run out, and then assuming all the waiting time will be excluded.
• Relying on a photocopy or a downloaded order where the court or authority specifically asks for a certified copy.
• Not collecting the copy on time, as some courts treat unclaimed copies as abandoned after a period.
