In reply, the learned Additional Government Pleader appearing for the respondents would submit that if any protest/objection petition is filed, the same will not be reflected in the EC of the subject property and no right can be claimed on the ground of the filing of such protest/ objection petition.

However, the same was not reflected in the EC of the said property till date. 8. Normally, if any protest/objection petition is filed, the respondent will issue notice to the concerned parties, prior to the registration of any subsequent deeds or documents in respect of the subject property, however, the said protest/objection petition will not be reflected in the EC. When such being the case, the question of registering the protest/objection petition, so as to reflect the same in the EC of the subject property, will not at all come into picture and thus, the petitioner cannot insist the respondent to register the protest/objection petition. 9. In this case, after the filing of said protest/objection petition, no deeds or documents were presented for the purpose of registration in respect of the subject property. That apart, no interim injunction was granted in the aforesaid suit filed by the petitioner. 10. In view of the above, as rightly suggested by the learned 4/6 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis W.P.No.43549 of 2025 Additional Government Pleader, no right can be claimed on the ground of the filing of such protest/objection petition. The petitioner's right over the property can be established only by way of approaching the concerned Civil Court. In such case, this Court does not find any fault on the part of the respondent. 11. Therefore, this Court is inclined to dismiss the present petition. Accordingly, this writ petition is dismissed.
