Balasubramanian. R v. The Sub Registrar

ORDER Heard the learned counsel on either side.

2.It is seen that the petitioner has already filed O.S.No.204 of 2021 on the file of the District Munsif Court, Karur. The Registering Authority is shown as the fourth defendant. Respondents 2 to 4 herein are figuring as defendants 1 to 3 in the said suit. The petitioner can very well file an interlocutory application in the pending suit seeking the relief now sought for in the writ petition. The petitioner cannot maintain a parallel writ petition even during the pendency of the suit. Granting liberty to the petitioner to workout his remedy in the pending suit, the Writ Petition is disposed of. I make it clear that I have not gone into the merits of the matter. No costs. Consequently, connected Miscellaneous Petition is closed.
