Govindasamy v. The Inspector General of Registration,

ORDER Heard Mr.D.Thirumoorthy, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr.U.Bharanidharan, learned Special Government Pleader for the respondents.

¶2The petitioner presented a partition deed for Survey Nos.120/1, 120/10, 130/3, 251/1C5, 252/3A and 255/5D of Palayam Village, Nallampalli Taluk, Dharmapuri District. The third respondent refused to register the document on account of an interim order granted in O.S.No.115 of 2021 on the file of the District Munsif Court at Dharmapuri. Challenging the same, the present writ petition has been filed.

¶3When the matter came up for hearing, Mr.Bharanidharan has produced the instructions from the third respondent. Along with the said instructions, the third respondent has enclosed a protest petition filed by the plaintiffs Chinnasamy and Sivan. Mr.Thirumoorthy urges that the property which is the subject matter of the partition deed is not the subject matter of the partition suit. This is not an issue which can be gone into in a writ jurisdiction. Hence, this writ petition is disposed of in the following terms:

(i) The petitioner shall submit his representation pointing out that the property which is the subject matter of the partition deed is not the property which is the subject matter of O.S.No.115 of 2021 on the file of the District Munsif Court at Dharmapuri;

(ii) This representation shall be clubbed along with protest petition that has been given by the said Chinnasamy in j/k/vz;.45/2025. Thereafter, the third respondent shall pass appropriate orders. In case, he comes to a conclusion that the suit property and the property, which is the subject matter of partition deed are one and the same, he shall refuse registration. In case, it is not so, he shall register the document. Needless to add that prior to the orders being passed, both the petitioner and Mr.Chinnasamy must be heard. There shall be no order as to costs. 26-12-2025 kak/mmi Index:Yes/No To
