Dear Client,
There is no rule under which a registered sale deed automatically expires after six months, so that basis for cancellation does not exist. A registered document cannot be cancelled unilaterally; since the buyer refuses to cooperate, you would need to file a suit for cancellation of the sale deed under Section 31 of the Specific Relief Act, 1963, along with recovery of the unpaid ₹41 lakh and damages. Given the broker's repeated fraudulent misrepresentations, including the older flat misrepresented as new, a police complaint for cheating under Section 318 BNS against both the buyer and broker is also warranted. Send a strong legal notice first, demanding either payment or reversal, before filing suit.

Dear client,
Firstly, A registered sale deed does not expire in six months, and under Telangana rules, you cannot cancel it unilaterally without the buyer’s consent. Since the buyer and broker fraudulently misled you regarding payment and property promises, your situation constitutes criminal cheating and fraud which needs immediate legal intervention.
Secondly, your primary step should be filing a formal criminal complaint for cheating and criminal breach of trust with the local police or the Police Commissioner of Warangal. Explicitly state the unpaid balance, defective property promises, and the extortion of additional funds. Police action and the threat of criminal charges force fraudulent buyers to agree to a mutual cancellation deed to avoid arrest.
Moreover, have an advocate issue a legal notice asking the remaining balance or to be present at the Sub-Registrar office for mutual cancellation. If they refuse, file a civil suit to declare the sale deed void and secure an interim injunction to legally restrain them from transferring, mortgaging, or selling your property while litigation is still happening.
Lastly, do not attempt to file a cancellation deed on your own, as the Sub-Registrar will reject it without the buyer’s consent or a court order. Discontinue all unrecorded oral discussions, and carefully preserve all messages, stamp papers, and payment receipts as essential evidence for both police investigators and the civil court.
