J U D G M E N T

A. Muhamed Mustaque, J.

Having considered the nature of the issue involved in this case, we find no scope for interference with the order passed by the Principal Munsiff Court, Ernakulam, especially since an application was filed under Order XXI Rule 97 of the Code of Civil Procedure , 1908 (CPC). However, nothing prevents the petitioner from filing a separate application under Section 47 of the CPC or under any other appropriate provision, if the same is maintainable in accordance with law.

This original petition stands dismissed with the above observations.
