Thereafter, the petitioner’s father and the petitioner approached the District Munsif Court, Thiruchengode in O.S.No.165 of 2022 and the said suit was decreed under judgment and decree dated 16.07.2002. Since the entry made in the encumbrance certificate in respect of the sale deed in favour of Sigamani had not been deleted, the present writ petition has been filed. 2.

He submits that the petitioner has the option of registering the decree of the civil court. https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis WP No. 21871 of 2023 __________ Page3 of 5 3. Unlike other documents that are required to be registered within a prescribed time limit, such time limit does not apply with regard to a decree of the court. Since the petitioner submits that the property was declared to be his father’s and his under the decree of the civil court, the grievance of the petitioner would stand effectively redressed if the decree were to be registered. By leaving it open to the petitioner to take appropriate steps to register the decree, this writ petition is disposed of.
