ORDER
The present Writ Petition has been filed in the nature of a Writ of Mandamus seeking for a direction to the respondents 1 and 2 not to register any document in respect of the subject property in view of the pendency of the suit in O.S.No.131 of 2023 on the file of the District Munsif Court, Kovilpatti.
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, the present Writ Petition is not maintainable. In that regard, this Court is of the view that even a direction to the official
WP(MD) No. 31963 of 2026 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 her interest in the properties and if such injunction is granted, she may approach the official respondents for appropriate relief. There shall be no order as to costs. 11-11-2026 Index: Yes/No Speaking/Non-speaking order Neutral Citation: Yes/No cmr To
