Sale Cancellation - Unilateral cancellation of sale or conveyance deed is generally invalid unless authorized by law or specific contractual provisions. Courts have consistently held that such unilateral actions without legal backing cannot be accepted, and cancellation must be carried out through proper legal channels, typically civil courts. For example, the DDA's unilateral cancellation was deemed invalid as it lacked legal authority RAJ RANI Vs DDA & ORS. - Delhi. Similarly, courts have emphasized that cancellation based on fraud or impersonation must be addressed through appropriate civil or revenue courts, not unilaterally Harrisons Malayalam Limited VS State of Kerala, Represented By The Chief Secretary - Kerala, C. V. Thambidurai VS A. Natarajan - Madras.
Power of Courts - Courts possess the authority to quash or uphold cancellations based on legality and justice. Writ petitions challenging unilateral cancellations have been allowed when such cancellations are found to be illegal or without proper jurisdiction. For instance, the High Court quashed the cancellation order, asserting that only a civil court can declare a sale deed void RAJ RANI Vs DDA & ORS. - Delhi, Rasheed Ahmad Usmani VS DLF Ltd. (through its Chairman & MD) DLF Centre - Consumer.
Principles of Justice - Courts operate under principles of natural justice, requiring fair procedures before canceling or refusing registration of documents. Forged or illegal documents cannot be registered or canceled arbitrarily; registration authorities are empowered to refuse registration of forged documents S.

Civil vs. Revenue Jurisdiction - When a person seeks cancellation of a sale deed on grounds like fraud or impersonation, the remedy lies with civil courts or revenue courts, not administrative or criminal authorities. The courts have clarified that such matters require civil adjudication to ensure justice Harrisons Malayalam Limited VS State of Kerala, Represented By The Chief Secretary - Kerala, M/S.HARRISONS MALAYALAM LIMITED Vs STATE OF KERALA - Kerala.
