THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GODA RAGHURAM W.P.No. 7841 of 2006 Dated 10-03-2011 Between: Ibrahim and others. …Petitioners Vs. The I.G. Registrations and Stamps, Government of Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad and others. …Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GODA RAGHURAM W.P.No. 7841 of 2006 Oral Order: The Cancellation Sale Deed dated 10-03-2006 bearing document No. 3371 of 2006 registered by the 2nd respondent is assailed in this writ petition. The petitioners claim to have entered into an agreement of sale with the 3rd respondent to purchase agricultural land of an extent of Ac.02-61 gunats in survey No. 615, Shamshabad village and gram panchayat, Shamshabad Mandal, Ranga Reddy District. Thereafter the 3rd respondent executed a sale deed bearing document No. 2736 of 2006 on 25-02-2006 before the 2nd respondent. The petitioners also assert that they have paid total consideration by negotiable instruments viz., cheques and demand drafts and claim to be in actual physical possession of the property pursuant to the registered sale deed dated 25-02-2006. While so, at the instance of the 3rd respondent, the 2nd respondent registered an instrument purported cancel the Sale Deed dated 25-02-2006 on 10-03-2006 bearing document No. 3371 of 2006 (impugned herein) unilaterally and without reference to the petitioners. This document, as already noticed, was registered by the 2nd respondent and that is assailed in this writ petition. A majority of a Full Bench of this Court in Yanala Malleshwari and others v. Ananthula Sayamma & Others[1] upheld the Act of registering authorities in registering instruments purporting to be Cancellation of Sale Deeds unilaterally and without reference to the vendee. In Civil Appeal No. 317 of 2007 dated 13-07-2010, the Supreme Court held that a Cancellation Deed and its registration are wholly void and non est and ‘meaningless transactions’ since on the earlier registration of the sale deed, the title passes from the vendor to the vendee and no entitlement to the property inheres in the vendor to rescind the passing of title or earlier registering of the instrument of sale. In view of the ratio set out in the judgment of the Supreme Court referred to above, the document No. 3371 of 2006 registered by the 2nd respondent on 10-03-2006 is void abinito, non est and inoperative and so declared. The writ petition is accordingly allowed, but in the circumstances without costs. ____________________ GODA RAGHURAM, J Dated: 10-03-2011 Pvks [1] 2006 (6) ALT 523 (F.B.)
