Answer #1

A notarised document does not transfer title in immovable property—only a registered sale deed does. “Cancelling” a notary paper is not the correct route. If there is a dispute about area/shortfall, it becomes a civil dispute where the buyer may seek compensation, rectification, or cancellation through court. First, verify measurement with a proper survey and check what exactly was agreed in the document. The next step depends on facts and drafting. I can help review your papers and advise the best way to handle this dispute.

Answer #2

A notarized document cannot be “cancelled” as notarization merely attests execution and does not confer title or confirm area. The dispute raised by the buyer regarding shortage of land is a matter of factual measurement and civil liability. You should have the property measured through a competent government surveyor and verify it against the documents. If the measurement matches, you can defend any claim; if not, the buyer may seek compensation or other civil remedies. The issue will be adjudicated by a civil court, not by cancelling the notarized document.

Answer #3

First, clarify whether you only notarized the deed or actually registered it before the Sub‑Registrar, because a notarized agreement does not transfer full ownership of land, only a registered sale deed does. A notarized document cannot be cancelled unilaterally; disputes over shortage of land are civil matters. First get the land re‑measured by a government or private surveyor. If the area is genuinely less, try an amicable settlement or refund the adjusted amount. If the dispute continues, the buyer may file a civil suit for deficiency and you can defend on documents and facts. To cancel the transaction, you must either execute a proper cancellation deed or approach a civil court.
