Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of Writ Petition No. 5357 of 1999 by the High Court, which sought a writ of mandamus for the issuance of title deeds based on a government order claimed by the petitioner to be genuine. The Court found no error in the High Court's decision, given the government's assertion that the G.O. was fake and the discrepancies in signatures. The Court directed the High Court to conduct an inquiry into the authenticity of the G.O. and related orders, emphasizing that the petitioner must be heard in the inquiry process.
