You can register a cancellation deed at the register office
SUBRAMANIAN C R (ADVOCATE) 16 September 2011
You have to approach a civil court with a suit for cancellation of document. Once a transfer of property is effected - by sale, gift, settlement or by any means whatsoever, the same can be cancelled only by a method known to law which is a suit for Decree of cancellation of document. Registering a cancellation deed at the registry will not affect the rights of the transferee. The suit has to be filed within the period of limitation.
There are a host of decisions on the subject
