The contention of the petitioner is that he purchased the disputed property from one Krishnasamy, who originally owned 3.50 acres of land. The said Krishnasamy had already sold a portion of 31 cents to one Ramya through a sale deed dated 15.02.2023. Now, Krishnasamy has proposed to sell the remaining land to the petitioner. A sale deed was submitted to the respondent for this transaction, however, it was returned by the respondent, stating that the land belongs to the Kalaimagal Sabha. _________ p. 3 3. The contention of the petitioner is that the Kalaimagal Sabha owns several properties in various locations, including Madurai, Trichy, and other places. In Kallikudi Bit-1 village, the Kalaimagal Sabha possesses property. However, as far as Bit-II is concerned, the Kalaimagal Sabha does not own any property. The petitioner now intends to purchase Bit-II. Therefore, the respondent, without applying due consideration, refused to register the document. 4. On perusal of the records, it is seen that Kallikudi Bit-1 belongs to Kalaimagal Sabha, wherein in the year 1993, based on document No. 2498/1993 dated 09.06.1993, the sale was registered between one Duraisamy and Kalaimagal Sabha. As far as Bit-2 is concerned, the encumbrance certificate states that Bit-2 belongs to Krishnasamy. Hence, this Court is prima facie convinced that Kalaimagal Sabha does not have any property in Bit-2. In case the property belongs to Kalaimagal Sabha, a remedy is available to approach the Civil Forum. 5. Accordingly, this Writ petition is allowed. The impugned order of the Respondent in Refusal Check Slip in RFL/ Kallikudi/6/ 2025 _________ p. 4 dated 14.03.2025 is hereby quashed. The respondent is directed to register the sale deed and the said exercise shall be completed within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of the order.
