Naren Chandra Naskar vs Arun Bhattacharya & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of competing claims over two conveyances registered on the same date, leading to allegations of forgery under Sections 471 and 420 IPC. The Court held that the High Court erred in dismissing the writ petition solely on the basis of a pending criminal investigation, emphasizing the need for an inquiry into the authenticity of the deeds. The Court upheld the High Court's directive for the District Registrar to investigate the genuineness of the deeds and take appropriate action based on the findings.
