ORDER

¶24

Heard the learned counsel on either side.

¶25

The petitioner's mother Ramuammal @ Ramamritham executed a settlement deed in favour of the petitioner on 04.12.2013. That was unilaterally cancelled by her on 19.03.2014. Challenging the unilateral cancellation, the petitioner filed W.P.(MD)No.14763 of 2014. The said writ petition was allowed on 12.09.2022. Thereafter, the petitioner came to know that the fifth respondent had executed two more settlement deeds in respect of the very same property. Seeking cancellation of the subsequent documents, the present writ petition came to be filed.

¶26

However, the petitioner's rights can be adequately protected by directing the second respondent to register the order dated 12.09.2022 made in W.P.(MD)No.14763 of 2014. This shall be done immediately and without any

delay. The petitioner is permitted to submit formal application in this regard and the second respondent shall forthwith register the same.
