Rule 26(i) and Proviso - Registration Act, 1908
The proviso to Rule 26(i) of the Andhra Pradesh Registration Rules clarifies the conditions under which certain registration actions, such as cancellation or revocation of deeds, are permissible. Several cases highlight that registration authorities cannot unilaterally cancel or revoke deeds like gift or sale deeds without following due procedure, and the proviso provides specific procedural safeguards. For example, in INDAP00000037591 and INDAP00000037609, courts emphasized that unilateral cancellation without proper process is invalid, and the proviso limits the authority's power to act arbitrarily.
