Gram Panchayat Certificate not a ‘private document’, Can be used to establish legacy linkage

Gram Panchayat Certificate not a ‘private document’, Can be used to establish legacy linkage

Rupajan Begum vs Union of India

Supreme Court

05/12/2017

CIVIL APPEAL NO.20858 OF 2017

About/from the judgment:

If the document and its contents is to be subjected to a thorough search and probe we do not see why the said certificate should have been interdicted by the High Court, particularly, in the context of the facts surrounding the enumeration and inclusion of the documents mentioned in the illustrative list of documents, as noticed above.

 

Stating that the said document can in no manner be considered a ‘private document’, the Court held that Gram Panchayat Certificate can, however, be acted upon only to establish a linkage between the holder of such certificate and the person(s) from whom legacy is being claimed. It was made clear that the certificate will be put to such limited use only if the contents of the certificate are found to be established on due and proper enquiry and verification.
