ORDER
The present Writ Petition has been filed in the nature of a Writ of Mandamus seeking for a direction to the second respondent to register the original final decree along with the Advocate Commissioner’s report passed in I.A.No.880 of 2010 in O.S.No.88 of 2001 dated 16.12.2025 by the learned Sub Judge, Pudukottai, in favour of the petitioner based on the petitioner’s representation dated 07.09.2026.
2. Heard Mr.N.Kamesh, learned Counsel for the petitioner and Mr.I.Pinaygash, learned Special Government Pleader, who accepts notice on behalf of the respondents 1 and 2. By consent of both parties, the Writ Petition is taken up for final disposal at the admission stage itself.
3. The learned Counsel for the petitioner had brought to the notice of this Court that the second respondent had been wrongly shown as the Sub Registrar, Viralimalai Registrar Office, Pudukottai District instead of Sub Registrar, Kadambakudi Registrar Office, Pudukottai District. Hence, he seeks necessary direction to the jurisdictional Sub Registrar, namely, Sub Registrar, Kadambakudi Registrar Office, Pudukottai District. __________

4. The issue on hand is no more res integra, as the Hon’ble Division Bench of this Court had already directed registration of a decree, even though it has been placed before the registering authority beyond the period prescribed under the Registration Act, 1908, on production of certified copy of the judgment and decree. The decision rendered by the Hon’ble Division Bench of this Court is binding on this Court also.
5. In such view of the matter, the Writ Petition stands disposed of with a direction to the Sub Registrar, Kadambakudi Registrar Office, Pudukottai District, to register the original final decree along with the Advocate Commissioner’s report passed in I.A.No.880 of 2010 in O.S.No.88 of 2001 dated 16.12.2025 by the learned Sub Judge, Pudukottai, on production of certified copy of the same. There shall be no order as to costs. 06-10-2026 Index: Yes/No Speaking/Non-speaking order Neutral Citation: Yes/No cmr __________
