• The court directed the Tambaram Taluk Tahsildar to decide within four weeks on Kapoor’s request to cancel the certificate, stopping short of quashing it.
• Justice N. Anand Venkatesh issued the directive while disposing of a writ that sought action on Kapoor’s April 22, 2025 representation.
• The 2005 certificate issued by the Tambaram tahsildar underpins claims by a woman and her two sons to an undivided share in the land.

• He says Sridevi bought the ECR plot on April 19, 1988 based on a 1960 family arrangement, and the family has since used it as a farmhouse.
