Sandhya katheria by way of registered sale deed executed on 24.06.2025.

The petitioner was orally informed that the boundary wall which had been constructed, was illegal and would be demolished. Upon further investigation, the petitioner discovered that Case No.666 of 2025 had been instituted against Shivram Pandey who was not the seller of the land to the petitioner.
