It is pointed out by Mr.M.Murugan, Learned Government Advocate, who takes notice for the First and Second Respondents, that it has been ruled by the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India in Satya Pal Anand -vs- State of Madhya Pradesh [(2016) 10 SCC 767] that once a document has been registered, the Registering Authority cannot cancel the registration even if his attention is invited to some irregularity committed during the registration of the document, and that the remedy for the aggrieved party is only to challenge the registration and validity of the document in a suit invoking Section 31 of the Specific Relief Act, 1963, before the jurisdictional Civil Court. In view of the same, Learned Counsel for the Petitioner seeks https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 1/2
