Purna Ch Murda v. Executive Magistrate Cum Tahasildar,Puri
Case brief
What is this about?
Birth certificate; authenticity of registration; evidentiary value of birth certificate; certificate not conclusive; pending suit; issue relating to birth; court below to decide; W.P.(C) No.4131 of 2016; High Court of Orissa at Cuttack; Executive Magistrate-cum-Tahasildar Puri; disposed 18.11.2025.
What did the court decide?
The submission that the birth certificate is likely to prejudice the Petitioner's case was rejected as absolutely misconceived, since a certificate of that kind is neither declared to be conclusive nor declared to be highly presumptively valid. ¶16
