Summary: Indus City Scapes Constructions Pvt. Ltd. wanted a quick fix for a land record error, but the court says they need to take it up with another court. Here’s a breakdown of what happened.
Indus City Scapes Constructions Pvt. Ltd. bought 35.45 acres in Idayankodumanthangal Village, Chengalpattu District, back in 2005. Everything was fine until they noticed something odd in the land records. Their land, Survey No. 43, was mistakenly included in a legal decision from June 3, 2023. This mistake popped up in the Encumbrance Certificate, which tracks property details.
On October 30, 2025, Indus City Scapes reached out to the Sub-Registrar in Chengalpattu, asking them to fix this error. They filed a request under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, hoping the court would order a quick correction.
Justice Senthilkumar Ramamoorthy looked at the case on January 20, 2026. The court acknowledged the error but pointed out that the Sub-Registrar doesn’t have the power to change the decision. Instead, Indus City Scapes was advised to take their case to a proper court to sort out the inclusion mistake.
“The registering officer does not have the authority to remove such entry,” the court noted.
The court didn’t charge any costs but made it clear that Indus City Scapes needs to start a separate legal action if they want this fixed. This means more legal work for them, but it’s the only way to get the decision corrected.
Indus City Scapes hoped for a quick resolution, but the court’s decision means they’ll have to take a longer legal route. They need to approach a different court to correct the mistake in the land records.
