Quick Summary: On December 5, 2025, the Madras High Court directed local officials in Perambalur to review a request about canceling a land ownership document that was claimed to be wrongly given.

The Case Background

The case, WP No. 47002 of 2025, was brought to the Madras High Court by Mathiyazhagan. He said that a land ownership document was wrongly given to Mukundan and Santhi for land in Nochiyam village, Perambalur Taluk. Mathiyazhagan wants the document canceled and reissued in his name.

Petitioner’s Claims

Mathiyazhagan claims that the land ownership document for the property, totaling 6.63 acres, was incorrectly given to Mukundan and Santhi. He argued that this was done without proper checking and has sought its cancellation since July 22, 2025.

"Mathiyazhagan claims that a false land ownership document has been issued in favor of Mukundan and Santhi."

Court’s Decision

Justice Abdul Quddhose ordered the third person responsible, the Tahsildar of Perambalur, to make a decision on Mathiyazhagan's request within 12 weeks. This decision must be based on the facts and follow the rules.

"This Court directs the third respondent to pass final orders on merits and in accordance with law."

What Happens Next?

The court has required that the Tahsildar must inform Mukundan and Santhi and consider any objections they might have. This ensures that all parties involved have a fair chance to present their case.

Summary of Verdict

The court has asked the local official, the Tahsildar, to review Mathiyazhagan's claim about the land ownership document and make a decision after hearing from all parties involved.
