2. The Writ Petition is filed challenging the action of respondent No.2 in registering the deed of revocation dated
13.05.2013, as illegal and a consequential direction to set aside tJle registered deed of revocation.
3. The facts leading to file the writ petition are that one M. Ravinder executed a release deed dated O2.O7.2OO4 in respect of the property bearing No.1-3O-357 l1 (part) in plot Nos.22 and 23 in Survey Nos.403 and 4O4, admeasuring I i : i 2 I 2OO square yards situated at Kanajiguda, Alwal village, Malkajgiri Mandal, R.R. District, comprising half share of joint rights, before the Sub-Registrar Office, in favour of the petitioner. The said Ravinder once again approached respondent No.2 and registered the deed of revocation dated 13.05.2013 for cancellation of release deed executed on O2.O7.2OO4. It is setfled proposition of law by the Honble 4. Supreme court in the case of satya Pal Andnd. vs. stqte o! *Iadhga Proldesh and othersl that the power to register a document of cancellation cannot be construed to confer a Etasi-judiciat power on the registering authority, and it is only when a sale deed is cancelled by a competent Court, the cancellation deed can be registered and that too, !.. after notice to the parties concerned, and that the Rules make cleq5 that both cancellation deed as well as rggrstration were wholly void and non-est in the eye of law. In this regard, it is appropriate to extract Rule
5. ) 26(ixkxi) of the Rules hereunder : "26(i) (k) O fhe registering olfter shall ersure at th'e time of preparationfor registration of cancellation deeds of preuiouslg registered deed of @nuegances on sale before ' (zoro) lo scc 767 -"J .-) 3 him tlat such canccllatian deed-s are exeatted bg all tle excsttarlt and. claimant parties to the preuiouslg registered @nteAane on sab and that sltch qnellatian deed is a.wmpanbd bg a declaration shouting nafrtral onsent or ord.ers of a @npetent Ciuil or Hbh Court or State or Central Gouemment anrrulling the transadion arrtairted in the preubuslg registered deed of arutegane on sale: Provided tlut the regi"stering olficer slull dispense utith the exea,fiion of a nrellation deeds bg exealtant o.nd claimant parties to tle preuiouslg registered. deeds of @nueganes on sale before him if the mnrellation deed is acecuted bg a Civil Judge or a governm.ent o;ffier @npetent to exeaite gouemnent ord-ers declaring the properties antained in preuiously registered canuegance on sale to be gouemment or assigned or endoum.ent land.s or properties not registerable by ang provi,sion of law." \
6. Further, the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Trtotd funga Laxml dnd dttother Vs. S;tote of Attdhta held that it is only when a sale deed is cancelled by a competent Court that cancellation deed can be registered and that too after notice to the parties concerned
7. Admittedly, respondent No.2 should have ensured that cancellation deed is executed by both tl.e executants and claimant parties to the previously registered conveyance, accompanied by a declaration showing mutual
2.(2010) 15 scc 207 u 4 consent, whereas in the absence of the s€une, respond.ent No.2 has no power to unilaterally register the deed of revocation. Therefore, this Court deems it appropriate, to meet the ends of justice, to set aside the impugned deed of revocation dated 13.05.2013 cancelling the release deed executed on O2.O7 .2OO4.
8. In the result, this Writ Petition is allowed. The impugned deed of revocation dated 13.05.2013 is set aside. There shall be no order as to costs. Miscellaneous applications, if any pending, shall stand closed.
