Hyderabad, Oct. 19 -- The Telangana High Court has ruled that the cancellation of 17 sale deeds related to 45.37 acres of land in Bahadurpally village of Shamshabad mandal, Ranga Reddy district, is invalid.

Justice K. Sharath delivered the verdict after hearing three petitions challenging the sub-registrar's orders issued based on a tahsildar's letter. The court observed that the sub-registrar had no authority to annul registrations without proper legal procedure or notification to the concerned parties.

The disputed sale deeds pertain to survey numbers 52, 53, 54, and 59. The judge held that since these survey numbers were not included in any prohibited property list, the cancellation of the registrations was not legally sustainable. ...
