It is the case of the petitioner that despite the aforesaid order, the private respondents 4 to 6 have not paid the maintenance amount as was ordered by the second respondent and therefore, the petitioner has given a representation once again to the second respondent to cancel the settlement deed dated 17.08.2001 executed in favour of the fourth respondent and one Nagendran, who are none other than sons of the petitioner. 4. Since the petitioner has filed a petition for cancellation of the aforesaid settlement deed once again, as there was a failure to comply with the order passed by the second respondent dated 10.09.2024, there shall be a direction to the second respondent to consider the petition of the petitioner for cancellation of the settlement deed after due notice to the private respondents. 5. Meanwhile, the second respondent, through the office of the first respondent, shall ensure that the arrears of the maintenance amount that is payable as per the order dated 10.09.2024 is being paid to the petitioner. 5/8 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis W.P.(MD) No. 23118 of 2025 6.
