I am planning to buy a site in a gated layout for which the developer provided documents for verificaiton. This was submitted to a lawyer who in turn raised a query about a writ petition filed in High Court of karnataka during 1981-84. Developer through his legal team was able to give us the order issued by High court of karnataka which stated to be favourable for the person from whom the land was acquired. This is dated in 1984, when the lawyer whom i am consulting asked for the prayer portion of writ, the legal team replied stating that high court destroys documents older than 20 years. Is this true in terms of High court of karnataka and also in spite of having an order issued in favour of the person who sold the land how much importance this prayer portion plays. kindly educate.
