                                                JUDGMENT

The Applications in A.Nos.2722 and 2723 of 2021 are filed to set aside

the ex-parte order passed against the defendants 7 and 8, since they have

not filed their written statement.

2.The learned counsel appearing for the defendants 7 and 8 submitted

that the written statement have been filed.

3.Mr.A.V.Arun, the learned counsel appearing for the plaintiff would

submit that there is a certain property, which originally belong to the

husband of the plaintiff, that they had a son, that on his demise the

property devolved equally on the plaintiff, his widow and his son, that

subsequently the son too died and his right devolved again on the son's

widow and children as well as the plaintiff, that the plaintiff has executed

a release deed as concerning her share over the property in favour of her

daughter-in-law and grandchildren, that the daughter-in-law and the

grandchildren have later mordgaged the property to a bank and when the

bank initiated action for recovery of the morgaged money, this suit came

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis/

C.S.No.156 of 2016

to be laid by the plaintiff challenging the release deed executed by the

plaintiff in favour of her daughter-in-law and grandchildren.

4.The learned counsel further added that the mother in law is now dead

and her heirs are the defendants.

5.The learned counsel for the sixth defendant would submit that the

property has already been sold under the SARFAESI Act.

6.Plainly, nothing survives to be considered in the suit and the same is

dismissed as infructuous. Since the suit has been dismissed as

infructuous, the Applications in A.Nos.2722 and 2723 of 2021 are

closed. No costs.
