JUDGMENT :- 1. This writ petition has been filed praying for a writ of Mandamus, to direct the respondents 1 to 3 to take action against the respondents 5 to 8, for having conducted 'Kattapanchayat' and for forcing the petitioner and her son to sell the properties bearing Door No.230 & 298, Mariamman Koil Street, Kilakupaguthi, Srivilliputhur, Virudhunagar District. 2. The main contention of the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner is that the petitioner and her son had been forced to sell the properties in question by coercion and therefore, there was no free will and consent in disposing of the said properties by way of a sale. Therefore, the sale deeds executed by the petitioner and her son, in respect of the properties, which had belonged to the petitioner are null and void, as they had been executed without her free will and consent. 3. In the counter affidavit filed by the respondents, it had stated that on enquiry it had been found that no 'Kattapanchayat' had taken place, based on which the petitioner and her son T.Selvaraj had been compelled to sell their properties. It had also been found that it was T.Selvaraj, who had approached the respondents 5 to 8, to settle the matter, as he was under financial difficulties. However, it has also been stated that it would be open to the petitioner to challenge the sale deeds, if she deems it fit to do so, before the appropriate forum, in the manner known to law. 4. In view of the averments made in the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition and the counter affidavits filed on behalf of the respondents and in view of the submissions made by the learned counsels appearing on behalf of the parties concerned, this Court finds that the allegations made by the petitioner had not been supported by sufficient evidence. Therefore, this Court does not find it appropriate to grant the relief sought for, by the petitioner, in the present writ petition.
