Sunil Sethy v. State of Odisha
Case brief
What is this about?
The High Court of Orissa dismissed a writ petition filed by Sunil Sethy for directing the District Sub-Registrar to register a sale deed. The property was recorded jointly in the names of Basudev Sethy and Chhutu Sethy. The Court refused the prayer as the petitioner failed to produce material establishing that Chhutu Sethy and Sunil Sethy are the same person.
What did the court decide?
The writ petition was dismissed as it had no merit due to lack of proof that the petitioner was the same person as the other joint owner of the property.
