ORDER
The present Writ Petition has been filed in the nature of a Writ of Mandamus seeking for a direction to the first respondent not to register the subject property to an extent of 1 Acre 34 Cents of nanjai land comprised in Re-Survey No.258/2, corresponding to U.D.R. Survey No. 117/2 measuring 0.54.5 hectares in Patta No.6959, of Sirudhur Village, Thiruppalai Group, Madurai North Taluk, Madurai District to any other persons.
2. Heard the learned Counsel on either side. By consent of both parties, the Writ Petition is taken up for final disposal at the admission stage.
3. It is to be noted that the present Writ Petition has been filed in the nature of preventing a statutory authority from performing his statutory duties as enshrined under the provisions of the Registration Act 1908. Had the petitioner been benefited with order of injunction in the pending civil suit, the claim made by the petitioner could very well be considered. But, however, without obtaining any interim order in the pending civil suit in O.S.Nos.18 of 2026 and 37 of 2026 on the file of the District Munsif Court, Madurai, the present Writ Petition seeking the aforesaid relief is not maintainable. In that regard, this Court is of the view that even a direction to the official respondents to consider the claim of the petitioner is not necessary.
4. In such view of the matter, the Writ Petition stands dismissed with liberty to the petitioner to approach the competent civil Court for an injection to protect his interest in the properties and if such injunction is granted, he may approach the official respondents for appropriate relief. There shall be no order as to costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed. 12-11-2026 Index: Yes/No Speaking/Non-speaking order Neutral Citation: Yes/No cmr To The Sub Registrar, Office of Sub Registrar, Settikulam (Madurai North), Madurai District
