What to do if certified copy not provided

You can try approaching the District Judge or the High Court's registry to escalate the issue. If you feel comfortable, you can also consider visiting the court in person to inquire about the status of your application.

If you're looking for alternative solutions, you might want to explore online portals or contact the court's administrative office to see if they can assist you.

Sometimes, a direct call or email can help get things moving.

A case means a court or other officials?  Why did you consult a local agent who is unauthorised? You can approach the authorities and request them to provide a copy of the information you want, and pay the necessary fees if any.

Since this is an administrative matter the Judge may ignore my letter according to some advocates.  That's why I wanted to check what is the  correct way forward....?

The query is short of material facts. Which Court? What is the decision? What is the CaseNo.? Had you not engaged an advocate?

It is better to contact and engage a local prudent lawyer for proper analyses of documents, professional advise and necessary proceeding

Instead of sending registered post you follow the procedures for filing copy application as party in person directly by approaching the court and get the needful done.

Sir/s, it will cost me 5k rupees just to make a copy application which is extremely wasteful if i have to go in person.  Plus, 3 days absence from office for which I will have to compensate by working extra.

I am ex-parte in the case currently and I do not plan to enter the case if I find no reason to do so. So RPAD seems the best option.

In my enquiries I have realized that most advocates do not want to simply process my copy application - they want me to engage them in the case first - but I don't know them well enough to do that. The ones that accept to do this kind of work are not reliable in my experience. I have already lost Rs.2000/- twice in engaging local advocates to make copy application.

Courts should respond to RPAD which will be cost effective and most efficient way of getting at least routine work done. There must be some higher authority to whom I can escalate...?

The experts have adequately advised you qua the procedure, which may not suit your requirement, it is better to proceed as you like and stop  this thread.

If there's no provision to obtain certified copy by sending the copy application by RPAD, since you have various other options to obtain them but you are reluctant to follow the procedures, there's no point in rendering any further opinion to your repeated take.

You may do whatever you feel better.
