One way is a mutual cancellation wherein both parties execute / register appropriate deed recording cancellation.

Other way is approaching court seeking cancellation.

Some people also opt for unilateral termination. However, in such event, purchaser may approach court for specific performance within 3 years from communication of termination regarded as refusal.
