Madras High Court, S. Sounthar J., 23-03-2026; REV.APPL No. 83 of 2026 in CRP.No.3157 of 2023 and CMP.No.7264 of 2026; B.Dhanapal v. M.Sivalingam; review of order dated 02.02.2026 in CRP No. 3157 of 2023; Order 47 Rule 1 r/w 114 CPC, 1908; Rent Court / Rent Tribunal; RLTOP repossession; RLTA 24/23; I.A.1 of 2023 stay petition; delivery effected by executing Court on 27.04.2023; recording of delivery a ministerial act once physical delivery effected; alleged alteration of physical features of suit property; remedy before Rent Tribunal in pending appeal; review dismissed, connected miscellaneous petition closed.
What did the court decide?
Once physical delivery is effected, recording of the delivery by the Court is only a ministerial act and cannot be stayed; on that basis, in the main revision petition this Court set aside the appellate tribunal's stay order and directed the Rent Court to record delivery and terminate the execution petition.
