1 BEFORE THE MADURAI BENCH OF MADRAS HIGH COURT DATED: 13.12.2011 CORAM: THE HONOURABLE MR.JUSTICE V.RAMASUBRAMANIAN W.P.(MD)No.14128 of 2011 K.Franchis Ignatius Roch, S/o.Late Kovil Pillai Nadar, represented by his Power of Attorney Agent K.Narayanan, S/o.M.Kumarasamy ... Petitioner Vs. The Joint Sub Registrar II, Dindigul. ... Respondent Writ Petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India for the issuance of a Writ of Mandamus directing the respondent to cancel the registration made in respect of the deed of cancellation dated 19.04.1999 registered as Document No.1210 of 1999 on the file of the respondent. For Petitioner : Mr.B.Prasanna Vinoth For Respondent : Mr.K.P.Krishnadoss, Government Advocate O R D E R The petitioner has come up with the above writ petition seeking a mandamus to direct the respondents to cancel the unilateral deed of cancellation of a sale deed executed on 19.04.2009. 2.Heard Mr.B.Prasanna Vinoth, learned counsel for the petitioner. Mr.K.P.Krishnadoss, the learned Government Advocate takes notice for the respondent. 3.The petitioner claims that his principal's father purchased a vast extent of land on 18.08.1994 and the document was pending registration. In view of the initiation of adjudication proceedings under Section 47-A of the Indian Stamp Act, according to the petitioner, the document was released only on 25.04.2011. 4.However, the said sale deed dated 18.08.1994 had been cancelled by a deed of cancellation dated 19.04.1999. Contending that the deed of cancellation, executed on 19.04.1999, and registered as Document No.1210 of 1999, was an unilateral deed of cancellation, the petitioner has come up with the above writ petition seeking a mandamus to direct the respondents to cancel the deed of cancellation. 5.At the outset, the petitioner has come up with the above writ petition after twelve years of the date of cancellation. According to https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 2 the petitioner, he gained knowledge only recently, but the date of the knowledge is a question of fact which cannot be adjudicated in a writ petition. Interestingly, the purchaser of the property who is aggrieved by the deed of cancellation also died, in the year 1999 itself. The petitioner is only a Power Agent of the legal heir of the original purchaser. There are many more complications about which I do not wish to make a reference, lest they may have an adverse impact upon the petitioner, if he goes to the Civil Court. Therefore, the writ petition is dismissed, leaving it open to the petitioner to work out his remedies elsewhere. No costs.
