Key Principle Established
A sale deed once executed and registered transfers title to the vendee. The vendor cannot unilaterally cancel the sale deed. Cancellation requires a decree of court.
A vendor executed and registered a sale deed but later attempted to unilaterally cancel it, claiming the consideration was not fully paid.
The Supreme Court held that once a sale deed is executed and registered, the title passes to the vendee. The vendor has no power to unilaterally cancel a registered sale deed. If the vendor claims fraud, misrepresentation, or non-payment of consideration, the remedy is to seek cancellation through a court of law.
This judgment protects property buyers from unilateral cancellation of registered sale deeds and is a fundamental authority on the finality of property transfer.
