Prahlad Panigrahi Respondents

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THIS Civil Revision if directed against an order of the learned Munsif, Kendrapara dismissing an application under Section 151, Civil P C for amendment of the sale certificate issued Under Order 21, Rule 94, Civil P. C.

But in the sale certificate issued by the Court, the name of the mouza was wrongly mentioned as Baipada. On 20 -2 -1973 the petitioner filed an application under Section 151, Civil P. C. for correction of the mistake in the sale certificate, but the learned Munsif dismissed the same. That is why this Civil Revision has been preferred.

(3.) ORDER 21, Rule 94, Civil P. C. Provides that where a sale of immovable property has become absolute the Court shall grant a certificate specifying the property sold.
