A sub-registrar has no power under the Registration Act, 1908, to cancel a registered General Power of Attorney (GPA) by registering another deed in the name of ‘Cancellation of GPA’, the High Court of Karnataka has said.
“Though a registrar/sub-registrar has no power to desist from registering a document submitted along with necessary documents, but the registrar is not competent to cancel an already registered document,” the court said.
