2.The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner would submit that the petitioner passed the Document Writer's Licensing Test conducted on 19.07.1997 by the Inspector General of Registration, Chennai and license was granted in License Serial No.A/8/2002/PKT under the Tamil Nadu Document Writer's license Rules, 1982 and thereby, authorized him to practice as a Document Writer within the State of Tamil Nadu. The said license was valid for 5 years and periodically renewing the same without any break. The petitioner was doing his job without any complaint from any one. One Tamilnesan, who is known person, approached the petitioner for drafting a sale deed in respect of S.No.124/2 at Pugal Sillathur Village, Orathanadu Taluk, Thanjavur District. After getting necessary particulars from him for drafting the deed, he drafted the sale deed and thereafter only the sale deed was registered on 23.07.2012 as Document No.654/12. Two persons, namely Mr.Rengasamy and Mr.Ramesh approached the petitioner for drafting two settlement deeds in respect of several survey numbers. He drafted both settlement deeds in respect with the particulars given by them. Those two sale deeds were also registered as Document Nos.66/2014 and 67/2014 on 03.02.2014. In the month of May 2015, the Inspector of Police, District Crime Branch Police Station, Thanjavur intimated him that certain deeds registered with the office of Sub-Registrar, Thiruvonam were fabricated and hence, he has been implicated in the said criminal case.

The petitioner submitted an application dated 21.12.2016 for renewal of his license to the District Registrar for being forwarded to the licensing authority for renewal. The second respondent issued the impugned order dated 05.11.2018 in Na.Ka.No.2362/A4/2016 declaring that he will not be permitted to write documents since the criminal case is pending investigation. The petitioner has been permitted to write documents even after the date of registration of FIR in Cr.No.35/2014 pending before the DCB, Thanjavur. The impugned order has to be set aside on the ground that the proceedings of the Deputy Inspector General of Registration, Thanjavur which was referred to by the respondents herein as an order, is actually an inter departmental communication, wherein, a clarification has been given by the Deputy Inspector General of Registration for a query raised by the respondent.

Therefore, under such circumstances I was having no other speedy and efficacious option rather than invoking Art.226 of Indian Constitution for uplifting his fundamental rights, by filing a writ petition challenging the above said impugned order vide W.P(MD)No.5337/2018 and the same is pending before this Hon'ble Court after granting Interim Stay for operation of above said impugned order vide order dated 25.07.2018 passed in W.M.P(MD)No.5281/2018 in W.P(MD)No.5337 of
