Subramanian R v. The District Registrar

ORDER Heard both sides.

¶2The writ petitioner is the nephew of one Kanthaiya Konar. The petitioner had filed partition suit against Kanthaiya Konar in O.S.No.75 of 2001 on the file of the Principal Sub Court, Tenkasi. Preliminary decree was passed on 17.07.2006. A.S.No.17 of 2008 filed by Kanthaiya Konar was dismissed by the Principal District Judge, Tirunelveli on 28.06.2010. The Second Appeal had also suffered dismissal. In the meanwhile, Kanthaiya Konar had executed the petition mentioned documents in favour of his sons, namely, K.V.K.Saravana Kumaravel and K.V.K.Sivakumar (respondents 3 and 4 herein) in the year 2019. Seeking its cancellation, the petitioner filed a petition before the first respondent. The first respondent may not have the power to cancel the document. But then he can very well label it as fraudulent. Kanthaiya Konar could not have executed the petitioned mentioned documents in favour of his sons when he had already suffered a preliminary decree in the partition suit. It was also alleged by the petitioner that Kanthaiya Konar had executed in excess of what he was actually entitled to.

¶3The first respondent will bear these observations in mind and pass final order on the petition mentioned representation after putting the respondents 3 and 4 on notice. Such order shall be passed by the first respondent within a period of ten weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.

¶4This writ petition is disposed of accordingly. There shall be no order as to costs.
