The petitioner claims right over the subject property on the basis of a registered sale deed.

In view of the rival claims and the dispute with regard to the title and boundaries of the subject property, the petitioner is required to establish his right before the competent Civil Court. The observation made by respondent No.2 relegating the parties to approach the competent Civil Court is, therefore, just and proper. Accordingly, no interference is called for in this writ petition. 6. In the result, the writ petition stands dismissed. SD/- (E.S.INDIRESH) JUDGE SB List No.: 1 Sl No.: 28
