O R D E R
Heard the learned counsel appearing for the writ petitioner and the learned Additional Government Pleader appearing for the official respondents.
2. The petitioner wants this Court to direct the first respondent to cancel the petition mentioned document. The petition mentioned document has been styled as forged sale deed in the writ petition.
3. I fail to understand as to how such a document can be called as forgery. In any event, a document of the year 2/5
3 W.P.(MD)NO.1022 OF 2023 2009 cannot be cancelled by the first respondent at this point of time. If the petitioner feels that his civil rights have been infringed by the execution and the registration of the petition mentioned document, it is always open to the petitioner to move the jurisdictional civil Court for protecting his rights.
4. The contention of the petitioner is rejected because the first respondent lacks the authority to cancel the document in question. The petitioner's substantive rights are left intact and the merits of the matter have not been gone into.
5. With this observation, this writ petition stands dismissed. No costs.
