Case brief
What is this about?
Madras High Court, Single Judge (T.V.Thamilselvi, J.), decision dated 08.01.2025. Govindaraj v. Perumiammal and others, S.A.No.24 of 2025 and CMP.No.436 of 2025, second appeal under Section 100 of the Civil Procedure Code against concurrent judgments in A.S.No.6 of 2019 (Subordinate Judge, Palacode, dt. 22.12.2022) and O.S.No.118 of 2012 (District Munsif, Palacode, dt. 25.11.2015). Sale deed Ex.B11 dated 02.07.1984 described property as S.F.No.176/3, extent 2.30 acres, but recorded survey number incorrectly as S.F.No.176/1; vendor-plaintiff's remedy limited to rectification of the document; no substantial question of law; appeal dismissed as abuse of the process of law; no costs.
What did the court decide?
The plaintiff sold the suit property to the defendants under Ex.B11 dated 02.07.1984 describing it as S.F.No.176/3 with an extent of 2.30 acres, but the survey number was incorrectly recorded as S.F.No.176/1; the plaintiff is obligated to rectify the mistake and, at most, is entitled only to seek rectification of the document; the trial Court rightly so observed and its findings do not require interference.
