The petitioner claims to be a subsequent purchaser of the property in Survey No.56/2 situated at Ubrani Village, Ubrani Hobli, Channagiri Taluk, Davangere. 4. His submission is that, prior to the purchase, there was an agreement of sale entered into by the original landowner with certain others as regard to which a suit for specific performance had been filed, which - 3 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010580422026 NC: 2026:KHC:45884 WP No. 26311 of 2026 came to be partly decreed directing the refund of the earnest money and denying the relief of specific performance on 02.04.2025 in O.S.No.60/2023 by the Senior Civil Judge & JMFC, Channagiri. The petitioner, having purchased the property subsequent thereto, had requested the Sub-Registrar to remove the details of the registered agreement of sale entered in the encumbrance certificate. Same not having been done, the petitioner is before this Court seeking for the aforesaid reliefs. 5. An encumbrance certificate records all the transactions which have occurred in respect there to. No entry in the encumbrance certificate can be deleted at the request of any party, even if such party had purchased the property subsequently. It would be for the petitioner to avail of such remedies which are available in law, including registration of a decree passed in O.S.No.60/2023. 6. Reserving such liberty, the petition stands disposed. Sd/- (SURAJ GOVINDARAJ) JUDGE GJM/List No.: 1 Sl No.: 14
