¶2It is stated that the petitioner sought deletion of encumbrance entries relating to Doc.

Nos.202 of 2013 and 78 of 2016 by the learned I Additional District and Sessions Judge, Cuddalore, declaring the settlement deeds as null and void. But till date, the same has not been considered by the respondents. Hence this writ petition.
