How to correctly identify unknown party in remote village?

My cousin has communicated that opposition wants to settle property case located in my family village which i have never visited.  I have never seen the opposition. My cousin has tried to impersonate me and settle the matter sometime ago so I cant rely on him. The opposition is a prominent well-connected family in the village and my cousin also has considerable influence. In the past I had engaged local advocate who had come under their influence. So I can't rely on local advocates. Given this context, how do I correctly identify the opposition?

Is the property ancestral or owned?  You can change your advocate, but you shall obtain NOC from the previous advocate and submit the same to the court, and engage an advocate in a town near you.

1.  Is the property is registered on your name, mutated and partioned and where it is situated. It can be disposed off according to your will , no influence whatsoever can preclude you. If you are ready to meet certain expenditure.

Firstly identify your property, for that you have to visit the village where the porperty is situated and then identify the opposite party, discuss with them and after satisfying with everything you can proceed as suggested

You will have to identify opposite party as well as the property involved   in the case / dispute, which cannot be obliged by experts on this platform, you will agree.

Discuss and sortout your dispute amicably, if it is acceptable to both the parties.

Influence / emotions do not have any place / bearing on the Court proceedings.

The query is too hypothetical  to warrant any suggestion.

I know I have to identify the opposition party - that is why I have the question "How to correctly identify unknown party in remote village?".   I do not know the opposition party's contact details or do not have photograph of the party nor have seen them even once in my life.  So simply relying on my cousin's word for identification would not be a good idea.  In fact I have not even met my cousin. My father left the village as a child and never took me there even once.  Will the photo identity of the party be available in the Court?

Your query in the subsequent post suggests that you rquire help from someone  physically to overcome this problem, though this is not a legal query.

If you are not interested to go ahead with the deal then you can ignore the entire issue and remain silent or if you still feel that you want to be benefitied by this issue then you may have to put your own efforts instead of taking suggestions from people who also live in remote place as you live and get misguided. .

When you know  that you are to identify opposite party and property your further question(s) / queries are frivolous and baseless just for the sake of time pass. Do you expect either of the legal experts have magic wand to dig out the person against whom you desire to drag in the court of law ?

@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.
