• Property case status

Hello

our property case filed at the additional civil court @bangalore reads as 
case status : case disposed
nature of disposal : --decreed
Decision Date : 05th September 2011
The ruling was in our favour and dismissed the defendants suit.Lawyer fees was awarded as Rs.2000/.
We immediately filed a caveat to higher court.
We are still awaiting the decree copy since 2011
Our query
1) Can we sell the plot now without the decree copy
2) Can we assume that the case is solved and the property is ours!! without any dispute again
3)Is there any way for getting the decree by applying at the court
4)Does the delay in receiving the decree have any consequences

1. The decree copy does not take more than 2 weeks to be given even in those states where the courts have the highest pendency of cases. It seems that you did not pay the necessary court fee for decree copy.

2. Unless the judgment has been challenged in a higher court and any stay has been ordered against the sale by such court you are at liberty to sell the property.

3. No don't make any assumptions in legal process. Your lawyer can find out the status of the case.

4. The delay in getting the decree does not have any consequences except that without reading the judgment you will not be able to know what is the order passed by the court.

2. You can not assume anything in connection with legal matters. You should have hard evidence in support of your claim,

3. File an application for the said copy of the decree,

4. Not apparently if it is a fact that tye decree was really issued.

Hi, you have to make an necessary application in the court and get the certified copy of the decree.

2. Though you have filed the caveat but validity of the caveat is only 90 days so before selling the property you just enquir in the high is there any appeal is pending on the lower court number and get confirmed and sell the property.
