¶32

Challenge in these petitions is to the order passed by the Registrar/Joint Registrar, Cooperative Societies who has directed the Housing Society to cancel the sale deed executed in favour of the petitioners.

¶33

Learned counsel for the parties would not dispute that the matter in issue, pertaining to the authority of the Housing Society to

¶34

cancel the sale deed, has already been settled by this Court in Shyam Kumar Gujrati v. Board of Revenue and Others¹ and Dr. Meghraj v. Anupam Griha Nirman Sahakari Samiti Maryadit & Another² .

¶35

At this stage, Shri Verma, learned counsel for the respondents No.6 & 7 would submit that in the event the orders are cancelled and liberty is not reserved then the subsequent purchasers will have no remedy in law, therefore, liberty may be reserved in their favour to challenge the sale deed before the Court/authority having jurisdiction over the matter.

¶36

In view of the above, the impugned orders directing cancellation of the sale deeds and the consequential orders of cancellation of sale deeds in favour of the petitioners are set aside, however, liberty is reserved in favour of the respondents No.6 & 7 to seek cancellation of the subject sale deeds in favour of the petitioners before the Court/authority having jurisdiction over the matter in accordance with law.

¶37

It is made clear that this Court has not expressed any opinion about the legality and otherwise on any issue raised in these writ petitions and these petitions have been allowed only on the issue of competence of the Registrar/Joint Registrar to cancel the sale deed.
