Do not worry at all as this seller is cheat and trying to befool you.

refer t the sale deed , In the sale deed it must be mentioned that you have paid the full consideration money and the details of payment may also be given.

Since the vendor has signed the your sale deed which is registered as well he cannot retract and say that he ahs not received any payment.

So ignore his notice and enjoy the proeprty.

1) seller has received full consideration as mentioned in sale deed . even if he files suit chances of obtaining relief are bleak

2) execute POA in favour of family member to appoint lawyer , to appear in court on your behalf

The sale deed is rightly worded ans seeing this I further assure you that there is nothing to worry as the vendor could do nothing now.

Contact a local lawyer and reply to legal notice

2) mention that full consideration has been paid to your client in 2014

3) deny that Rs 765000 is payable

The vendor's claim for money or sale consideration at this stage is not maintainable.

Let him approach court for this, you can challenge the same.

You can secure the payment details in the meantime.

n my sale deed it is written codition number 1 . That, in pursuance to the said agreement and in consideration of Rs.350000 only paid by the vendee to the vendor, the receipt of which the vendor does hereby acknowledge, he conveys his aforesaid property fully described in schedule below by this deed to the vendee. Also signed by vendor. Also his identifier acknowledge this condition. So is there any chances that vendor can claim for sale deed cancellation. Other thing is this useful that I will submit informantry petition against vendor may he try to cheat me and request civil court to cancel the sale deed in my absence. Because I am working in gulf and it will be deficualt to keep my eye on vendor action

The recital in the sale deed is very clear leaving no room for any suspicion about the sale considerate amount not being paid.

However to keep constant vigil over the civil suit, you may file a caveat before the concerned court so that you are informed about any such case being filed agaisnt you.

This claim is vexatious and purported due to the hike in the market rate of the property.

Just ignore it by giving reply to the notice denying all the contents that are against you.

Let him proceed, you can challenge the same properly.
