Amend rules, says HC

The Madras high court on Thursday suggested to the Tamil Nadu government to bring an appropriate amendment to its registration rules making it mandatory for the registering officer not to register a deed of cancellation of a sale deed if it was not executed mutually by the parties to the earlier sale deed. Justice S. Nagamuthu quashed the registration of a cancellation deed by the sub-registrar, Sidco Nagar, Chennai, while allowing a petition from G.D. Subramaniam besides imposing a cost of Rs 10,000 on P. Shanmugham, B. Dillibabu and B. Vasu. According to the petitioner, he had purchased a property in July 2006 for Rs 14 lakh from P. Shanmugham through Dillibabu, who was the power agent of Shanmugham. Dillibabu executed the sale deed and the same was registered. He was put in possession of the property since then. But Dillibabu sold the same property to his brother Vasu and got the document registered. In September 2007, Dillibabu, without his knowledge executed a cancellation deed nullifying the sale to him and got the same registered.
