@Dr. J C Vashista: You have misunderstood the question. If you will please read my original question, you will know that the person that I am supposed to identify is already a party in the case and the property has also been identified in the case. The issue is - I don't know how to identify him in person (physically) or get his contact details. I am supposed to meet this person and hear his settlement proposal. In order to do that I should be able to identify him reliably and that's where my question stemmed from.
Dear Experts, Other agencies / institutions like Bank / Bus / Train / Post Office etc., ask for Photo ID to establish the identity. So to me it seems reasonable there is some mechanism in the Court to identify the person and I can avail of the benefits of the property sale. This is very much a legal question. Do the experts expect that if I land in a remote village I will somehow magically identify that person...that is only going to be fraught with risks. Since this is a pretty common scenario with people migrating to cities generations ago, it seems to me there will be a reliable process to handle this scenario.
