Ahed Ali Sardar v. State Of West Bengal And ORS.

25.09.2024 Sl. No.33(DL) srm W.P.A. No. 4132 of 2022 Ahed Ali Sardar

Versus

State of West Bengal & Ors.

Mr. Narayan Chandra Mondal, Mr. Sankar Sarkar ...for the Petitioner.

Mr. Shamim ul Bari ...for the State-respondents.

Affidavit-of-service is taken on record.

The petitioner prays for issue of certified copy of Deed No.5153 dated November 5, 1990 which was placed for registration at Hathatgang ADSR, North 24-Parganas. The registration was completed, but thereafter it was detected that the stamp papers were forged.

Under such circumstances and in the interest of justice, if the petitioner puts in the money equivalent to the stamp duty with the registering authority, the registering authority shall issue the certified copy of the said deed within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of such money. The registering authority will keep the money deposited in an interest-bearing fixed deposit account with a nationalised bank.

This order will not prevent the authorities from proceeding in accordance with law with regard to the case of forgery, the investigation of which is still pending. The writ petition is, thus, disposed of.

There shall be no order as to costs.

All parties are to act on the basis of the server copy of this order.

(Shampa Sarkar, J.)
