Anjan Kumar Bhanja v. State Of West Bengal And ORS.

16.08.21 Sl 124 Ct-08 tkm W.P.A No.9805 of 2021 Anjan Kumar Bhanja vs.

The State of West Bengal & Ors.

Mr. Bhaskar Chandra Manna ... for the Petitioner The petitioner complains that, a deed presented for registration in 1991 has not been made over till date. None appears for the State.

Apparently, there are issues with regard to forgery of the stamp duty.

It would be appropriate to direct the petitioner to put in the cash equivalent of the stamp duty payable in respect of the deed presented for registration in 1991 to the registering authorities.

Upon the registering authorities receiving such deposit, they will keep the same in an interest bearing fixed deposit account opened with any nationalized bank and will provide the certified copy of the deed to the petitioner.

This order will not prevent the authorities from proceeding with the criminal case of forgery. This will not also prevent the authorities from proceeding against the petitioner, if they find that the petitioner is involved in the forgery.

W.P.A 9805 of 2021 is disposed of without any

order as to costs.

Urgent certified website copies of this order, if applied for, be made available to the parties upon compliance of the requisite formalities.
