Madras High Court, Senthilkumar Ramamoorthy J., order dated 09-12-2025 dismissing WMP No. 27294 of 2025 in W.P.No.22055 of 2025. Keywords: impleadment petition; Article 226; writ petition by purchaser to restrain registration of conveyances; vendor/seller alleging unpaid full sale consideration; civil suit already filed; remedy before jurisdictional civil court; District Registrar Tiruppur; Sub Registrar Udumalaipettai; parties include V.Radhakrishnan, V.Vengadapathy, V.Vasanthakumar, Safvolt Switchgears Pvt Ltd, Prema Engineering; counsel P.Saigovindaraja, Naveenkumar Murthi (R6), U.Baranidharan Spl.G.P. (R1 & R2), K.Selvaraj (R3 & R4). Useful when testing whether a vendor claiming unpaid consideration can be impleaded in a purchaser's writ petition against registration — answer here: no, dismissed.
What did the court decide?
If the impleading petitioner has any grievance against the purchaser in respect of non-payment of the full sale consideration, it is open to him to institute proceedings before the jurisdictional civil court; such a grievance is not a ground for impleadment in the writ petition.
