                                      For Petitioner       :     Mr.T.K.Gopalan

                                      For Respondents :          Mr.M.Prakash
                                                                 Additional Government Pleader


                                                       ORDER

The petitioner had given representation dated 14.11.2022 to conduct

enquiry. This representation was submitted to the District

Registrar(Administration), Madurai South who is the second respondent

herein. On the basis of the representation, the second respondent had passed an

order on 06.01.2023 in N.Ka.No.9729/Aa2/2022. The said official had stated

that since C.C.No.230 of 2010 is now pending before the Judicial Magistrate

No.I, Madurai, depending on the outcome of the said calendar case, further

orders shall be passed. He had deferred the final findings to be given,

depending on the out come of the judgment to be delivered in the calendar case.

2. The learned counsel for the petitioner however, placed reliance on the

judgment and decree of the civil Court / I Additional Subordinate Court,

Madurai, in O.S.No.445 of 2011 dated 20.03.2017.

3. At any rate, since an order had already been passed by the second

respondent, it would only be appropriate that a writ in the nature of

certiorarified mandamus is filed to set aside that particular order dated

06.01.2023. A mandamus cannot be issued to the same officer to revisit the

said order without setting it aside. To set it aside, a relief should be sought to

call for the records and to quash the said order.

4. In view of that particular fact, giving liberty to the petitioner to file

appropriate writ petition as certiorarified mandamus, relating to the order dated

06.01.2023 in Na.Ka.No.9729/Aa2/2022, passed by the second respondent.

This writ petition stands dismissed. No costs.
