Unless you are purchasing from directly from Apple, or an Apple Authorised retailer, any box labelling simply cannot be relied upon.
Products can be readily re-boxed, re-labelled or simply misrepresented.
The only advice that i can constructively offer is to purchase Apple products through a recognised official retailer - in so doing having full confidence in both origin and expected quality.
And what do you hope to accomplish in so doing? If fraud were to be attempted, a savvy fraudster will simply print a known valid serial number on a box label.
See the section, “Check for Activation Lock before you buy a device from someone else“ in this article:
Activation Lock for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

Thanks for your response. I just wanted to be sure if it’s original or not, looks original, but the serial cannot be verified. Someone told me the serial number of cases and covers are not verifiable( which i could not accept) I have not yet purchased the iPad Pro case. Any help will be appreciated.

I’d only add that a new, genuine Apple product should be delivered to you unopened w/ it’s tamper-evident seals intact.
There is no reason whatsoever for any legitimate entity to open the packaging of a new device prior to delivery to the purchaser.
Thanks, but I am purchasing it second hand from someone.
I am purchasing it second hand from someone I know. Hence, just wanted to know if the serial of cases is verifiable or not? Many thanks
In purchasing a pre-owned device, the serial number is perhaps the least important of your due diligence checks…
Here are Apple’s recommended actions and checks to perform when purchasing a previously used device:
Check for Activation Lock before you buy a device from someone else
Before you buy an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, from someone other than Apple or an authorized Apple reseller, make sure that the device is erased and no longer linked to the previous owner’s account. Follow these steps to check if the device is ready to use:
You will know that a device is ready for you to use when you're asked to "Set up your iPhone," “Set up your iPad," or “Set up your iPod” the first time you turn it on.
