Hari Balakrishnan.P v. The District Registrar

ORDER Heard both sides.

¶2One Sermanathan executed sale deed dated 01.12.2020 in favour of the writ petitioner purporting to convey two items of property. Sermanathan claims to have inherited the said property from his father Annamalai Nadar who purchased the same vide sale deed dated

07.08.1986. The third respondent lodged complaint before the first respondent that even though Survey No.563/8 is not mentioned in Annamalai Nadar's sale deed, it is finding place in the sale deed executed in favour of the writ petitioner by Sermanathan. Finding merit in the said contention, the first respondent passed the impugned order labelling the document as fraudulent. It is seen that the writ petitioner had already filed O.S.No.118 of 2022 on the file of the Sub Court, Sankarankovil seeking the relief of declaration and permanent injunction. Thus, the civil Court is seized of the matter. Hence the impugned order will abide by the outcome of the civil suit.

¶3It is stated by the learned counsel appearing for the third respondent that the impugned order had already been entered in the encumbrance register. That will remain and the rights of the parties will have to be established before the jurisdictional civil Court independently.

¶4I am of the view that prosecution need not have been directed. This part of the impugned order alone is set aside.

¶5This writ petition is partly allowed. There shall be no order as to costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petitions are closed.
