    Case Summary: Amina Khatoon & Faiyaz Alam v. State of Jharkhand Decision: The High Court of Jharkhand allowed the writ petition and set aside the Deputy Commissioner's order cancelling the registered Sale Deed dated 10.02.2020. The court held that the Deputy Commissioner exceeded jurisdiction in cancelling a registered deed, as only a competent Civil Court possesses authority to declare registered deeds null and void. The Registration Act, 1908 contains no provision empowering the Registrar or executive officers to cancel registered documents, even in fraud cases; such powers belong exclusively to Civil Courts. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
