The registration authorities cannot refuse to register a document based on the pendency of a writ petition when a decree has been issued in favor of the parties seeking registration.
The Sub Registrar cannot refuse registration of a document solely due to title disputes unless it is proven the vendor has no title over the property in question.
Registering authorities lack power to cancel documents as fraudulent after Section 77-A invalidation; title disputes for civil court.
The Sub Registrar must register a sale deed if procedural requirements are met, regardless of title disputes, as they lack adjudicative authority regarding ownership.
The Sub-registrar has no authority to refuse registration of a deed based on allegations of forgery, as disputes of title are exclusively within civil courts' jurisdiction.
