ASHOK KUMAR

#ashokasays Did you know 59:

Now for a message very much related to my name..

"John Doe" orders (restraint orders against unknown persons for breach of plaintiff rights) are called "Ashok Kumar" orders in India. Likewise,  "unclaimed" or "unidentified" dead body found in a public place is called as Ashok Kumar. It is a norm in India to name unidentified bodies until their remains can be identified. This is usually done for court orders to be easily written. This has an equivalent in many countries as well. The _oe surname is often used as place holder names. Common examples are John/Jane/Doe/Roe/Poe etc.
