RAVI, J. -------------------------------------------- W.P.(C). No.8153 of 2025 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 21st day of March, 2025 JUDGMENT The petitioner proposes to buy a property. The prayer in the writ petition is to direct the 1st respondent to issue record of rights (RoR) regarding the property covered by Ext.P5. The Village Officer has by Ext.P7, informed the proposed transferors about the pendency of revenue recovery proceedings against one among them, Sri Manikandan. The petitioner seeks to register the sale deed which will necessarily be subject to any claim in the revenue recovery proceedings. It is settled law that pendency of revenue recovery proceedings is not a bar for transferring a property. In the above circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of directing the 1st respondent to issue record of rights regarding the property covered by Ext.P5 to the petitioner, at the earliest, at any rate, within a period of three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
