Order
This writ petition is filed for the following relief: “To direct the respondent to consider and dispose of the petitioner’s representation dated 07.12.2025 seeking transfer of House No.111, Door NO.128, Kamarajar Nagar, Hall’s Road scheme, Chennai from the name of the Late Tmt.Viruthambal to the name of the petitioner after affording an opportunity of hearing to all persons likely to be affected.”
2. The subject property was originally allotted to the petitioner’s father, late N.Venugopal, by the then Tamil Nadu Slum Clearance Board in the year 1981. During his lifetime, he executed a registered Will dated 03.02.2000, bequeathing his rights and interest in the property in favour of his three daughters, namely, the petitioner, her sisters, V.Neela and V.Panchavarnam. The petitioner would submit that after the demise of her father, one Viruthambal, the second wife of her father represented herself before the concerned authorities as his sole legal heir and transferred the property in her favour. After the demise of the said Viruthambal on 05.04.2016, one Indira relying upon unregistered sale agreement and unregistered power of attorney claimed rights over the property. The genuineness and validity of the documents were disputed by the petitioner and her sisters and they have filed OS.No.7131
