Purchaser must have fiiled suit for specific performance as your brother did not honour the transaction

2) you have been added as party to the suit as your nephew sold land to you by regd sale deed

3) your nephew defence should be that purchaser failed to make full payment within stipulated period hence agreement has lapsed and he sold land to you

4) contact a local lawyer and file detailed reply in the suit proceedings

Hi

1. if there is a time clause in the first agreement with the first purchaser, and the purchaser didn't honor it then the agreement registered will be void as per the terms. such situation there should have a Notice reply or a notice send to the purchaser demanding cancellation of the sale agreement .

your registration sale agreement without cancelling the first one is illegal.

The possession was with you at the time of the first sale agreement is not a legal issue , but now the title as well as possession is with you after the second sale agreement with you and nephew

2. did your nephew return the money to the purchaser or offered to do so.

3. The sale agreement with the first person has to be reviewed to give a proper advise.

4. Court will look into the merit of the case and will pass order, so you should take efforts to prove that his agreement has been violated as he did not comply the conditions of it within the time frame.whenever there is such delay or violation of contract by the purchaser seller has to mandatory send a notice and call off the deal officially and demand for the cancellation of the agreement

5.In your case your nephew has not acted and failed to honour the contract by himself.

6. in the court go for a settlement

The unregistered lease agreement in your name will prove that possession of property is with the lessee.

If you have been implicated in the case as a defendant, you should see that in what capacity that he has made as a party to the suit and what is relief that he sought against you.

You can challenge the same or let it out to become exparte if you nothing to do with the suit agaisnt you.

A suit for specific performance of the agreement can be filed by the agreement holder as against the land of your brother son. The fact that your brothers son did not receive the notices sent by the purchaser is illegal. The purchaser was ready and willing to register the land in his name, but your brother son wanted to cheat him and you, which is why he has registered the property in your favour for the same price. Without the cancellation of the earlier registered sale agreement, registering the same property in your favour is illegal, and therefore the same can be set aside by the court.

If possible call the earlier agreement holder and offer him some compensation and convince him to withdraw the case, which I guess would be your best option right now. This way you can continue to retain and enjoy the land purchased by you.

You dont acknowledge the demand made by the buyer to enforce the unregistered sale agreement.

Let hims send a notice or even aproach curt seeking the the relief and remedy.

The unregistered ale agreement is not valid in the eyes of law.

However based on the agreement, which can be considered as a receipt for the amount received the court may pass an order to return the advance amount received, then you can do it.
