Whether Indian courts should recognize certificate of civil status is issued by Swiss Confederation to prove bride marital status?

 Ext.P5 certificate of civil status is issued by the

Swiss Confederation, to prove the bride marital status,


attested by a notary in terms of Hague Convention,

abolishing the requirement of legalisation for foreign public

documents (Apostille Convention).        India has declared its

accession to above Convention on 05/10/1961.                The

Switzerland has not objected to accession of India as

Contracting State under article 12 of the Convention. Thus,

the Indian Court and the Public Authorities are bound to

recognise such certification of the notaries of the foreign

country.
