Heard Mr.J.James, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr.U.Baranidharan, learned Special Government Pleader for respondents 1 to 5. 3. The petitioners sought for cancellation of a fake document and hence, filed a complaint before the 4 th respondent. The 4 th respondent through proceedings dated 26.07.2022 rejected the complaint and directed the parties to work out their remedy before the competent Civil Court.

In the considered view of this Court, no useful purpose will be served in directing the 3 rd respondent to deal with the appeal since the Division Bench of this Court in [M. Kathirvel Vs. The Inspector General of Registration Department of Registration and Others] reported in 2024 4 CTC 769, has struck down Section 77A of the Registration Act as unconstitutional. In view of the same, the only remedy that is left to the petitioners is to approach https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis WP No. 12580 of 2025 the compent Civil Court and seek for appropriate reliefs. Except giving this clarity, no further orders can be passed in this writ petition. 5. This writ petition is disposed of in the above terms.
