Principal Secretary, Stamps and Registration Department & Anr.Case No.: Writ Petition No: 338 OF 2018Citation: 2026 LiveLaw (AP) 154The Andhra Pradesh High Court has held that while a Registrar is empowered to conduct an enquiry under Section 75(4) of the Registration Act by issuing notice to parties to produce documents establishing their title, such power does not extend to cancelling a registered sale deed.Refusing to interfere with a notice issued by the District Registrar calling upon the petitioner to appear with relevant documentary evidence, the Court clarified that the enquiry could only be conducted in accordance with the Registration Act, 1908 and could not culminate in cancellation of the sale deed.Place Of Worship Can't Be Constructed Without Collector's Prior Approval And Proof Of Title: Andhra Pradesh High CourtCase Title: P.
