Mistake in the plot number must be treated as mere misdescription which does not affect the identity of the property sold.

Sheodhyan Singh v. Musammat Sanichara Kuer 
(1962) 2 SCR 753 : (AIR 1963 SC 1879)
 in the sale certificate the boundaries as well as the plot number were mentioned but there was a mistake in mentioning the plot number. It was held:
"The matter may have been different if no boundaries had been given in the final decree for sale as well as in the sale certificate and only the plot number was mentioned. But where we have both the boundaries and the plot number and the circumstances are as in this case, the mistake in the plot number must be treated as mere misdescription which does not affect the identity of the property sold.
