The Petitioners, Nilima Baishya and her son Rakesh Baishya, challenged two orders passed by the District Commissioner, Kamrup (M), Assam, which declared their registered Sale Deed No. 21429 dated 16.09.2022 invalid and cancelled the mutation granted in Rakesh Baishya's name. The Sale Deed related to a plot of land sold by Petitioner No. 1 to Petitioner No. 2 (her son), registered before the Senior Sub-Registrar, Guwahati, relying on building permission from GMDA under the Registration (Assam Amendment) Act, 2021. The District Commissioner cancelled the deed on the ground that a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the Deputy Commissioner was not obtained as required under Section 32 of the GMDA Act, 1985, and dismissed the Petitioners' review petition on the same basis. The Petitioners contended that the 2021 amendment to Section 21A of the Registration (Assam Amendment) Act, 2021 dispensed with the NOC requirement for properties with building permission from GMDA, and that the cancellation was illegal and contrary to settled law. The Gauhati High Court heard the matter under Article 226 of the Constitution of India; however, the judgment text as provided does not disclose the final operative order of the Court.
