3. The case of the petitioners is that the petitioner is a private

limited company engaged in the business of acquiring, purchasing,

promoting, and selling shares, stocks, bonds, debentures, and

properties, etc. In the course of its business, the petitioner company

purchased dry land admeasuring 2 acres (0.80 hectares) in Survey

No. 490/1, situated at Bonthapalli Village, Jinnaram Mandal, Medak

District, under a registered sale deed bearing Document No. 2363 of

2005, dated 30.05.2005, from M/s. Vishnu Industries for a

consideration of Rs. 3,30,000/-. Pursuant to the said purchase, the

petitioner company issued a public notice through its counsel calling

for objections, if any. Since no objections or protests were received

from any quarter, the petitioner company proceeded with the

purchase of the said land from M/s. Vishnu Industries.

Subsequently, a representation appears to have been submitted on

03.08.2007 by one Sri Y. Murali Krishna (respondent No.4), seeking

cancellation of Document No. 129 of 2005, alleging that the said

document had been executed by Sri Syed Abdul Azeem (respondent

No.7) by impersonating respondent No.4. Thereafter, Respondent

No.1, vide proceedings No.G1/AIG(S)/15718/2007 dated 22.02.2008,

purportedly exercising powers under Section 69(1)(j) of the

Registration Act, 1908, recalled Document No.129 of 2005 by

endorsing that the identity of the vendor was found to be fraudulent

and further cancelled the subsequent registered sale deed bearing

Document No. 2363 of 2005 on the file of the Sub-Registrar Office,

Narsapur, Medak District.

4. The learned counsel for petitioner therefore contends that the

action of Respondent No. 1 in cancelling Document No. 2363 of 2005

is unjust, illegal, arbitrary, and in violation of the principles of

natural justice. Moreover, Respondent No. 1 has no power or

authority to cancel a registered sale deed while exercising powers

under Section 69(1)(j) of the Registration Act, 1908. Hence, the

petitioner has approached this Court by filing the present writ

petition.

5. This Court, vide orders dated 31.12.2010, directed the

respondents to maintain status quo as on that day. Thereafter, the

record reveals that the said interim order has been extended from

time to time.

6. Respondent No. 1 filed a counter-affidavit submitting that

Respondent No. 5 made a complaint before Respondent No. 1 on

03.08.2007, stating that his signature was forged and that his

photograph was impersonated while registering the sale deed bearing

Document No. 129 of 2005, dated 11.01.2005, by Respondent No. 3.
