Quick Summary: Keerthana Rajalingam's request to register a settlement deed was initially turned down. The court has now ordered a second look at this decision, allowing her to try again to get the deed registered.
In Chennai, a family argument over property was started by R. Ravindran against Keerthana Rajalingam, Revathi Rajalingam, and Ms. Anitha Sharmila. The case was settled on November 15, 2016, through an agreement, with Keerthana and Revathi getting joint property shares.
On May 29, 2025, Keerthana tried to give her 50% property share to Revathi using a settlement deed. However, the official in Mylapore refused to register it, saying it was because the original court decision wasn't registered.
Keerthana's lawyer argued that registering the court decision isn't required. The government lawyer, Mr. U. Baranidharan, agreed that the situation needed another look. Justice Senthilkumar Ramamoorthy agreed, saying:
"The reason for rejection doesn't hold up... registration of the decision is not required."
The court canceled the refusal note, allowing Keerthana to try again to get the settlement deed registered. The official has two weeks to register the document if all other conditions are met.
This decision, dated February 26, 2026, gives Keerthana another chance to settle her property matters.
