By consent, the writ petition is taken up for final disposal.

2. The petitioner would claim that her grandfather was in absolute possession and enjoyment of the property in Survey No.186/3B and other properties situated at Selaiyur Village, Tambaram, Chennai and after the demise of her grandfather, her grandmother viz., Muniyammal, succeeded to the estate and she in turn executed a registered settlement deed bearing Document No.7172/2007 dated 13.07.2007 in favour of the petitioner. The right of the petitioner to be in possession of the land, is sought to be interfered with and therefore, she filed a suit in O.S.No.341 of 2007 on the file of the Court of District Munsif, Tambaram for permanent injunction and it was decreed and the appeal in A.S.No.12 of 2008, preferred by the defendants 1 and 2 therein was dismissed by Sub Court, Tambaram. The second appeal in S.A.No.866/2010, was also dismissed by this https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/

Court, confirming the judgments and decrees passed by the Courts below.

4. Heard the submissions of Mr.M.V.Muralidharan, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and Mr.R.Govindasamy, learned Additional Government Pleader, who accepts notice on behalf of the 1st respondent.
