Punjab & Haryana High Court Makes Verification Of Identity/Address Proof Mandatory Before Filing Of Pleas

Live Law  

Noting that in a particular case, the court orders were obtained in the name of a fictitious person, the Punjab and Haryana High Court recently directed that from now on, the identity and residential address of the petitioners will have to be verified by their Counsels prior to the filing of any matter before the Court. In this regard, the Court has directed that 'authentic documents' which establish the identity of an individual like Aadhar Card number or Passport number must be mentioned in the pleas by the petitioners, and the same must be verified by the counsel before the filing of the petition. The matter in brief Essentially, the bench of Chief Justice Ravi Shanker Jha and Justice Arun Palli came across a case wherein one Sukhvir Singh Lather, posing as Bajinder Singh, filed a PIL and obtained orders from the High Court. Accepting the unconditional apology tendered by him and after warning to be careful in future, the Court, with a view to protect the advocates, issued the following order making IDs and address proof-verification necessary: "…identity of the petitioner; and their residential address should be verified prior to filing of any matter by mentioning the Aadhar Card number or Passport number etc., which are considered to be the authentic documents to establish the identity of an individual, alongwith contact number and address should be clearly mentioned in the petition and verified by the learned counsel before filing of the petition."
