https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=787978 Section 68(2) of the Registration Act, 1908 gives a District Registrar supervisory power over subordinate registration acts or omissions and the correction of registration-related errors, but it does not confer an express power to cancel or nullify a registered sale deed. Cancellation of a registered instrument is a substantive power requiring clear statutory authority; it cannot be assumed through implication. Where allegations of fraud affect title, civil rights, or consideration, the dispute must be left to the civil court, particularly when a civil suit and counterclaim are already pending. Administrative registration authorities cannot decide such rights in summary proceedings, and any wider interference would be jurisdictional overreach. en-us Wed, 04 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 16 Mar 2026 08:42:13 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=787978 Section 68(2) of the Registration Act, 1908 gives a District Registrar supervisory power over subordinate registration acts or omissions and the correction of registration-related errors, but it does not confer an express power to cancel or nullify a registered sale deed.
