The Registrar lacks power under the Registration Act to cancel already registered sale deeds; cancellation is a substantive remedy for civil adjudication and cannot be achieved by summary administrative orders except where fraud is manifest on the face of the record.

Administrative nullification during pending civil proceedings usurps the civil forum and was held impermissible; the writ was set aside and the intra-court appeal allowed. The court applied established SC precedent restricting registrar cancellation powers.
