Thereafter, there was a suit also filed and it ended in the petitioner's favour. Now one of the co-sharer's legal heir namely, the son had filed Section 49 petition which ended against the co- sharer and in favour of the petitioner. Now the co- sharer has fabricated the patta. Finally the revenue proceedings were ended where the patta stands in the petitioner's father's name Gurusamy Gounder. In such circumstances, the co-sharer cannot deal with the property. But he has dealt with the property and executed a settlement deed in favour of his wife. When the co-sharer is not having any right, he cannot execute the settlement that he shall not fabricate the patta. Therefore, the respondent is directed to take the complaint and restrict the complaint insofar as the fabrication is concerned. 2/4 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis WP CRL.(MD). No.840 of 2026 4.
