The article examines the statutory limits on cancellation of partnership registration, concluding that the Deputy Commissioner lacked power to review or cancel a registration and that administrative supervision does not transfer the Registrar's statutory functions; therefore the impugned cancellation was unauthorized. It explains that Section 64 permits only rectification of register entries to conform with filed documents and is not a tool for adjudicating rival claims or cancelling registration, and that Section 21 of the General Clauses Act cannot be invoked to supply a cancellation power absent express provision. It also holds a resignation is operative only when tendered and accepted and that no fraud was proved to vitiate registration, leading to restoration of the registration certificate.
