In the affidavit, the petitioner states that the mother of respondents 3 to 6 had approached him and taken a loan from him. It is stated that original parent document of settlement deed bearing Document No.4925 of 2013 dated 20.05.2013 was given as collateral security. In these circumstances, without repaying the debt of Rs.25 lakhs, it is stated that the sale deed bearing Document No.7364 of 2025 was executed in favour of the seventh respondent herein. 2. Mr.S.Jayachandran, learned Government Advocate, accepts notice for respondents 1 and 2. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that a civil suit was filed for recovery of money. If so, the petitioner should seek 2/4 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis W.P.No.1070 of 2026 relief in respect of the property allegedly provided as security in the said suit. 4. The writ petition is completely misconceived. The petitioner’s grievance appears to be non-repayment of loan by the borrower. If so, a suit for recovery of debt may be filed. In case, a mortgage had been created as security, the petitioner has the option of seeking to enforce such mortgage or charge. On that basis, the petitioner cannot seek cancellation of sale deed. Therefore, this writ petition is dismissed without any order as to costs. 29.01.2026 Index:Yes/No Neutral Citation: Yes/No mmi To 1.The Inspector General of Registration, Registration Department, Santhome High Road, Chennai – 600 004. 2.The Sub Registrar, Joint – I Sub Registrar Office of Saidapet, South Chennai Registration District, Chennai – 600 015. 3/4 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis W.P.No.1070 of 2026 SENTHILKUMAR RAMAMOORTHY,J. mmi W.P.No.1070 of 2026 29.01.2026 4/4 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis
