What is the process to obtain the divorce decree from Bandra family court once the case has been closed and the divorce has been already granted? What type of documents will be required? Can a friend/family member collect the decree in absence of petitioner and lawyer?

Go to the copy section of the court ask for judgment copy application

Put your details & case no etc

Sign & submit with copy fees
Usally takes 3-10 days depending on working of the copy clerk

No only you or your ex wife or the advocate on record can apply or collect it

This is Due to privacy rules in family court

Thanks for the details. I require this to fill out some job forms and I am not in Mumbai nor my lawyer. Is there any alternative way?

Either of the spouses or their advocates can apply for the decree in the court where it was decided. Your advocate ideally should complete this step and give you a copy of the decree. Ask your advocate to apply and get it for you. It takes time, one cannot apply and get it on the same day or the next. After application you may have to wait for minimum of 4 weeks. If there are public holidays and the copy section is overwhelmed it will take months.
