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.
