IndiaIn 1993, a land dispute case was filed in the Karnataka High Court under the name of C Mariyappa, who had already died in 1988. Thirty-three years later, the court discovered this error and ruled that the case was invalid due to the deceased's involvement through an expired Power of Attorney. The court ordered the daughters of Mariyappa, who had filed the case, to pay Rs 10,000 in costs. The dispute involves 4.21 acres of land in Belavadi Village, where occupancy rights were initially granted to C Ningamma in 1981. The case was remanded to the Land Tribunal in 2001 but was ultimately deemed invalid due to the legal representatives' failure to disclose Mariyappa's death.
