The petitioner has approached the revenue authorities for effecting mutation of property owned by one Balachandran. Balachandran executed a will in favour of the petitioner. Copy of the will is produced as Ext.P1. The petitioner submits that Balachandran died on 12.12.2013. The will is not a compulsory registerable document. Therefore, there is no impediment in law in effecting transfer of registry based on an unregistered will. The right of any person to claim right over a property will not be lost merely because of transfer of registry. Therefore, based on Ext.P1 will, there shall be a direction to the 2nd respondent Tahsildar to effect mutation. Needful shall be done within a WP(C).No.29287/2014-I.
2 period of four weeks from the date of receipt of copy of this judgment.
The writ petition is disposed of as above.
