First you could Check and Down Load the Judgement of Indian Courts the Supreme Courts, High Courts, District Courts and Tribunals available ON LINE. You should have some details of the Case like Party's Name or Advocate's Name and Concerned Court and Year etc. You could do it your self or seek the help of Internet Operators.

Let me make it clear that it is a regular civil suit,judgement of which was passed in the year 1930 by District Court.
The party to the suit was my father's great grandfather. Now my father being legal heir (no ancestor above father alive) is entitled to apply for certified copy. Name and year and suit number is available.

Sir, I had checked India kanoon website. Old judgements are available of High Courts only. Is there any judgement archives available online for District Courts. I have checked whole search engine, but couldn't retrieve old District Court judgement(pre independence)

As it is an old one, hence it may not be found in the search engine. so consult and engage a local lawyer to process in the court concerned.

Maharashtra rules are not known to me.
Such matters are described in detail in the Civil Rules of Practice of each state. Kerala version of such a document is titled “Civil Rules of Practice Kerala”.
However in general, as is in force in Kerala, a copy of the judgement is obtainable by any stranger by filing an application and paying the prescribed fee in the concerned court.
In order to get copies of other records of a case, a stranger can apply with a verified application setting forth the purpose and the concerned judge can allow copies of such records.

Hello Dr. Vashista. I had presumed court judgement to be permanent document for preservation. Is the case otherwise?
