Yes you are entitled to get the original decree, duly signed by the judge and bearing court stamp.
My divorce was accepted and after period of 6 months the judge approved the divorce . However after approval and a period of 2 month my lawyer gives me the true copy of decree not signed by the judge. Should I not be entitled to get original court stamped decree signed by the judge?
How can a lawyer get hold of an order that does not have any signatures of the judge??that is not valid and unenforceable and may be a scam.
File an application for a true copy of the decree.
Regards
1. you are entitled to get the certified copy of the original decree,
2. contact your lawyer to apply the same for you
I got a copy which is stamped as True Copy and not Original copy signed by the judge . I informed my advocate and he said this is whatbis given and this is the only copy . Can u tell me if I can get ORIGINAL COPY Signed by the judge with court stamp on it and not true copy .
Judge signs the order in note sheet which is kept in the case file for record. Another copy of the same is made, sealed and signed by authorised officer of the court who certify the same as true copy of the order. That copy is given to parties. You no need to have the judge signature on your copy. Nowhere it is issued.
1. The decree or the judgment you get the certified copy of the original judgment and decree which alone is signed by judge.
2 The certified copy of the order/judgement or decree is never signatures of te judge.
So whatever you have got is the true certified copy of the decree and it does not matter at all if the same lacks the signature of the judge.
Original judgeent/order or decree remains the part of the case record and is never parted with the litigant.
Dear Client,
You may apply for certified photocopies of the Judgement and decree. Certified photocopies are equivalent to the originals.
a certified copy can be obtained. The original decree and order cannot be given to anyone.
The lawywr must have given you a certified copy wherein it is a stamped copy that says that it is a true copy of the judgement and decree.
The original copy is court record you still get the copy of the decree which is signed by judge only but it's certified copy.
Hi
The document received by you is the final copy.
The same is called True Copy / Certified Copy. Original will be in court records.
The one which you received is correct.
- Since, you was a party in that case, hence you are also eligible to apply for getting the certificed copy of the Divorce order without assistance of your lawyer.
- Not only this , you can also inspect your file as well.
- It may be , that your lawyer has supplied you the origionla copy.
- Better for removing your confusion , you should apply yourself for the same. There is no restriction for getting more than one copy from the court of law.
Good luck and dont forget to rating Positively.
you are entitled to get original judgement and decree of divorce if it is mentioned in the judgement that copy of this judgement is provided to both parties free of cost.
For that you need to move a miscellaneous application in the court who have passed the decree of divorce for getting the free copy of judgement.
Go to the Court (Office) where you got the Divorce and meet the Superintendent and ask him how to apply for certified copy of the Judgement.
You will get the certified copy signed by the superintendent of the court only.
The original copy signed by the judge shall be retained in the file maintained by court.
You cannot get any such document signed by judge in original.
You can get only the true copy certified and signed by the superintendent of the court concerned.
That is the rule and procedure all over the country.
