ORDER

By asserting that a settlement deed was executed in respect

of the properties described in paragraph No.2 of the affidavit in

favour of the petitioner’s husband on 22.08.2011, the petitioner

complains of the subsequent registration of a settlement deed by

the third respondent in favour of her husband on 28.10.2025 under

Document No.4726 of 2025. After submitting a representation to

the first respondent to take action against the second and third

respondents in relation thereto, the present writ petition has been

filed.

2. Mr.U.Baranidharan, learned Special Government Pleader,

petitioner’s representation dated 09.12.2025, he submits that the

said representation reveals that the petitioner has not approached

this Court bona fide. He points out that there are contradictions in

the said representation.

4. For reasons aforesaid, this writ petition is disposed of by

Court. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed.
