I personally feel Registration act 1908 is enough to solve fradulent registrations provided registrar should act bravely for ur references i quote following judgements..irony is registrar throw the parties to civil suit...
sec 83 confer the statutory powers upon the registering officers to file a criminal case against the persons who are involved in fraudulent registration through impersonation or other means, Hence filing a FIR is a statutory duty of the registering officer when such complaint is received. Similarly section 32 of act provides for the grounds for action under sec 83 of act and the quantum of punishment for the offences.
Andhra Pradesh high court (A/R2007) has observed in “yanala malleswari vs ananthalu sayamma” case that court did not see any prohibition for the registering authority to cancel sale deed earlier registered, which is likely to cause prejudice to the rightful owners as well as entire public at large.
In the same judgment, the honorable high court has observed that
“It is thus law of the land that even administrative authorities have inherent powers to recall or revoke their own order if such order was obtained by playing fraud on such public authority”
The judgment also refers to the observation of the honorable Supreme Court in the case of “Indian bank vs Satyam fibers India pvt ltd”. Which is as follows:-
“Inherent powers (to recall or revoke their won orders by the administrative authorities if the same was obtained by playing fraud on such public authority) spring not from legislation but from the nature and conservation of the authorities, to enable them to maintain their dignity, secure obedience to process and ensure transparency.
Finally they have opined as follows:-
“In the considered opinion of this court if a person sells away the property belonging to other, it would certainly be fraud on the statute. It would be adding insult to injury, if such person is asked to go to civil court and get the subsequent sale deed cancelled or seek a declaration.”
