Unless until there is Bank loan or Government or Government instructions or court instruction on your property number sub registrar will not stop any sale deed. If he finds genuine transaction seller name as per records and buyer name as per government identification than why he will stop the transaction. 

 

Check the exact what fraud transaction is mentioned in the sale deed.

1.Before registering the documents, the sub-registrar will verify whether adequate stamp duty has been paid for the property, as per the stamp duty ready reckoner. In case there is any deficit in the stamp duty, the registrar will refuse to register the documents.

2. Why should others sell your property? you mean fraudulently, then you may have to be careful about it, the sub registrar may not have time to verify each and every document to confirm the genuineness.

3. There is no law to prosecute the sub registrar for this lapse.

A property which belongs to anybody cannot be sold without his permission and consent. That is fraud and cheating. The sub registrar can be held liable if he participates in that fraud. Otherwise if the parties perpetrated the fraud file a suit for cancellation of sale deed.

The utmost care while transferring the property and register in it should be taken by register the property has been registered even after you can file a suit for the cancellation of sale deed by making the purchaser and register as a party in district court.

If there is any doubt that registrar has been aware of the transaction then this is a fraud case and you can file FIR in this regard of course she has some immunity

Dear Sir/Madam,

It is suggested that the person selling and buying the property is required to establish his identity before the registrar and thus there are less chances of fraud these days. However, if some fraud happens. the case can be filed against all concerned persons.

There is nothing in the law that require the registering officer to make a roving enquiry about the title of the person with regard to the property which is being sold by the sale of deed.

Scope of enquiry to be made by the registering officer is restricted to the factum of execution and the identity of the person executing document, other than the levy of stamp duty, collection of registration charges and the completion of procedural formalities such as attestation etc.

If it is apparent from the registered document and fact of the case that registrar has active role in forgery than FIR can file agasint him.
