You should just mention the court about pronouncement of judgment in the said matter.Alternatively file an application in the same case for pronouncement of judgment.Even if that does not work then file application in the court of Chief Justice but I do not think that would be required.

1. No court provide judgment copy unless the same ias asked for in writing in proper format by the litigant. If the order is uploaded in website the party can have a look at it but the print of the same has no authenticity.

So in other words to get it you have to apply for its certified copy of payment of necessary charges.

2. The time to get it is 1-2 weeks.

3. Writing to anyone would only make you a laughing stock. Do as advised you herein above.

1. There is no time limit for delivery of judgment copy. The date on which the certified copy of judgment is to be delivered is mentioned on the receipt which is issued at the time when you apply for the copy. If the copy is not ready by the date mentioned on the receipt then the date will be extended. If you pay the urgent court fee for obtaining the copy and apply it on an urgent basis then it could be supplied in 2 days from the date of application. If there is delay in supply of the copy then write to the registrar of copying branch.

2. Writing to the Chief Justice against a judge may invite your prosecution for contempt of court. The copy is not prepared and delivered by the judge who passed the judgment. This is not the process to be followed for obtaining the copy of the order. The process has been clearly provided by the law, and mentioned in the preceding para of my reply. So desist from writing to the Chief Justice.
