This writ petition has been filed, directing the respondent to consider the petitioner's representation dated 17.03.2025 and thereby direct the respondent to register the appropriate receipt of the Memorandum of Deposit of Title Deeds Document No.1928/2012 made over the petitioner's house and to return the original document No.1798/2009 and other papers in respect of the property situated at Plot No.34-B, A.S.T.C Nagar, Kumarasamypet, Dharmapuri Town, Dharmapuri Taluk and District.

Subsequently, he borrowed a loan of Rs.2,00,000/- by pledging his original documents with the respondent Bank. However, even after the payment of the
entire loan amount, no due certificate was issued by the respondent Bank to the petitioner, by returning the original documents, namely conveyance deed document no.1794/2009 and the registered sale deed document no.1798/2009. Therefore, the petitioner made a representation dated 17.03.2025 to the respondent to register the appropriate receipt of the Memorandum of Deposit of Title Deeds and return the original documents. But the same was not considered till date. Hence the present writ petition has been filed. 3.The learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that it would suffice, if a direction is issued to the respondent to consider the petitioner's representation within a reasonable time.
