V.BHAVANI SUBBAROYAN, J.

The present application is filed by the applicants / plaintiffs to direct the Registry of this Court to translate the registered Settlement Deed dated 12.06.1950 from Telugu language to English and pass appropriate orders.

2. The learned counsel for the applicants / plaintiffs submits that the suit has been filed for declaration and injunction on the ground that a memorandum of agreement was entered between the plaintiffs' grand father and plaintiffs' father on 12.04.1949, wherein the property was allotted to the plaintiffs' grand father and after his lifetime, the property will devolve upon his son's male descendants, viz., the plaintiffs and their sons. Thereafter, a partition deed dated 14.06.1949 was entered between the plaintiffs' father and grand father, in which also the suit property was allotted to plaintiffs' grand father. Further, on 12.06.1950, a registered settlement deed was executed by the applicants' grand father and according to the said settlement deed, the suit schedule 1/4

property was given to the son and grandson to be taken after his lifetime, thus, the applicants have become absolute owners of the property. Since the respondents / defendants have filed the written statement disputing the said contention and the said settlement deed is written in regional language, viz., Telugu, the plaintiffs have come forward with this petition seeking the aforementioned prayer.

3. Heard the learned counsel for the respondents / defendants.

4. Considering the fact that the plaintiffs have become absolute owners of the suit schedule property in pursuant to the registered settlement deed dated 12.06.1950 and the same is in regional language, viz., Telugu, it is just and necessary to ascertain the said fact by translating the same into English language, hence the present application is allowed.

5. Accordingly, the Interpretor of this Court is directed to translate the said settlement deed dated 12.06.1950, which is in Telugu language to that of the english language, preferably, on or before 20.06.2022 and 2/4

since the matter is pending before the learned Master for recording evidence, Registry is directed to place the same before learned Master for recording evidence on 21.06.2022.
