Muthirulan v. The District Registrar
Case brief
What is this about?
Petitioner sought a mandamus directing the District Registrar to conclude a pending enquiry on cancellation of a document registered in 2006. The court noted the enquiry predated Section 77-A of the Registration Act, whose retrospective operation is under consideration by a Division Bench, and directed the Registrar to decide based on that outcome.
What did the court decide?
Writ petition disposed with direction to first respondent to decide the matter based on the Division Bench's forthcoming order.
