                                                    JUDGMENT

(The judgment of this Court was made by S.M.Subramaniam,J.,)

The appellant is a third party to the writ proceedings instituted by

the second respondent Srimathi. M.Devaki, who is none other than the

mother of the appellant.

2.The writ petition came to be filed challenging the show cause

notice issued by the Sub-Registrar, Singanallur, Coimbatore District dated

19.06.2024 asking the second respondent to produce the copy of the

parent document No.1263/1981 to verify the title of the presentment of the

document for registration.

3.Instead of filing the said document by submitting an explanation,

the second respondent has chosen to file the writ petition. The writ

petition was allowed only on the ground that the principle laid down in the

case of N.Ramayee Vs. Sub-Registrar reported in (2020) 6 CTC 697 to

be applied and consequently, the writ petition was allowed.

4.Now, it is brought to the notice of this Court that the subject

document was registered by Sub-Registrar, Singanallur on 13.05.2024 in

document No.10034/2024, even before passing of the impugned writ order

on 23.07.2024. Pertinently, the appellant has instituted a civil suit in

O.S.No.930 of 2023, which is now pending on the file of the first

Additional District Court, Coimbatore. Thus, the parties are at liberty to

work out their remedy before the civil Court.

With this observation, the writ appeal stands disposed of. No costs.

Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed.

                                                                   (S.M.S.J)      (C.S.N.J)
