earlier for the purpose of granting recognition has not been considered, the present writ petition has been filed. 2.Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that pursuant to the Government Order passed in G.O.Ms.No.484 Home (Courts - II) Department dated 12.06.2015, which came into being due to the efforts taken by the petitioner Association, there is bifurcation of District Munsif Court from the jurisdictional Magistrate Court at Paramathy.
