ORDER

The prayer sought for herein is for a writ of mandamus directing the respondent to consider the representation of the petitioner dated 17.12.2022 and direct the respondent to correct the error pertaining to the Document No. as 3402 of 2002 instead of 3404 of 2002 in the round seal from page No.1 to 14 in the petitioner sale deed dated 13.12.2002 vide Doc.No.3402 of 2002 with SRO Villivakkam.

¶17

The petitioner has got a registered sale dated 13.12.2002 duly registered at the respondent office on the same date, where the document number was assigned as 3402 of 2002 in book No.1 of the Sub Registrar Office, Villivakkam. After several years, now only it is noticed by the petitioner that in the original document while putting the round seal of the respondent i.e., Registering Authority, instead of making the document number as 3402 of 2022, it has been wrongly mentioned as 3404 of 2002. This is a mistake inadvertently taken place, therefore, in order to rectify the same, the petitioner had given representation on 17.12.2022 and in order to consider the said representation and do the needful, the petitioner has moved the present writ petition with the
