ORDER

Heard the learned counsel for the writ petitioner, the learned Additional Government Pleader for the respondents 1 to 3. 2.The petitioner wants the second respondent to conduct enquiry under Section 77-A of the Registration Act and cancel the petition mentioned document. The petition mentioned document was executed way back in the year 2014. Section 77-A of the Registration Act is not retrospective. Therefore, the petitioner has to necessarily seek his remedy elsewhere. I have only held that the second respondent cannot grant the relief as sought for. The writ petition stands dismissed. The dismissal of this writ petition will not cast any cloud on the writ petitioner's title. The petitioner can very well move the jurisdictional Civil Court for establishing his rights. No costs. 27.02.2023 Index : Yes / No Internet : Yes/ No rmi 2/4
