1. The property is registered in your favour through a sale deed, it cannot be sold by anyone except you. Immediately file a suit for injunction against your parents and siblings to restrain them from creating third party rights in the property.

2. If they succeed in selling the house then it will be a long drawn legal battle for you to get the sale declared illegal and recover the possession, so take preemptive measures now.

3. Engage a lawyer in India and get going immediately.

Dear Query Raiser,

You may file a police compliant of such illegal activity happening with sufficient proofs through a lawyer in the concerned area and get the same restrained. If the police does not file the compliant you may file a petition before the Court under Section 156(3) of CrPC so that the complainant may be taken on record and prompt action may be taken.

Please note to get the Sub Registrar a party to the same.

Having sold the property to you in 2002 itself through a registered sale deed, your mother parted away with the ownership over this property. As on date, she's having no title to sell off this property.

Immediately approach the civil court and seek an injunction against your mother, restraining them from creating 3rd party rights over this property.

First of all send a complaint to your nearest police station and mark a copy thereof to the concerned S.P./D.C. alleging that your property is being attempted to be grabbed by the persons (name the persons) by manufacturing a fake deed of conveyance based on the link deeds taken from your mother.

As you are in abroad, someone in your native has to engage a trustworthy lawyer to contest on your behalf. As it is in your name, they cannot alienate nor take the possession. Your father and brothers should support by fighting against the goons by lodging a complaint with commissioner, if not court.

Hi

If you have purchased the property through registered sale deed, then the sellers (your mother) can no longer claim ownership or possession.

Also that the originals of link documents are being retained by your parents and siblings is of no use to them as you are the owner of the property by virtue of the sale deed.

You need to file a suit for declaration of title u/s 42 of specific relief act and obtain consequential injunction orders from your mother and other siblings from interfering in your property. In the same suit, you should also obtain injunction orders issued to sub-registrar, directing him to refrain from registration of any document(lease/gift/sale) on your property.

Hope this information is useful.

If your mother sold the property and the title is in your name no can sell the property even by linking the documents.

If the possession is taken by the other party as allowed by your parents the only way is to get the opposite party evicted from the possession.

The political power may work in police but never works in judiciary.

If there is no quick decision from the lower court then you may move a petition in the HIGH COURT to get a direction for speedy/early decision by the lower court.

Immediately write a letter to concerned Sub Registrar stating that you are the owner of the house (give details of your house) by virtue of sale deed dated 2002(give sale deed particulars) and your parents and your brothers and sisters are not the owners of the said property but are trying to sell your house illegally to third party.

It is, therefore, prayed that no documents regarding the sale of the said house may be registered as you are the only owner of the said house.

You may also give a public notice in the local newspaper to the effect that you are the owner of the house (give details of your house) by virtue of sale deed dated 2002(give sale deed particulars) and your parents and your brothers and sisters are not the owners of the said property but are trying to sell your house illegally to third party. Any body dealing for purchase of the said house shall be doing at his own risk and consequences.

Take immediate step.

Firstly you should not be afraid of such persisting threats.

The barking dogs seldom bite.

If you apprehend somebody trying to sell the property without your knowledge, you may file a mandatory injunction against the third party seeking to restrain him from interfering in your possession and enjoyment of the property and also to restrict him from posing threats to sell the property with the help of his money and muscle power.

Why are your parents selling the property to the goons/third party, is it under pressure?

Since the goons are reportedly hooligans and powerful, a complaint with the top police officer about this illegal activity may be submitted for his interference and necessary legal action and relief.

If you have the payment receipt or pay her thr amount of consideration of that property by way of cheque or demand draft or via online mode then no need to worry, but if the money has been paid in cash the there will be a weak point, but no need to worry, the registered sale deed will save your property

1. If they are threatening to file a suit against you then file a caveat and renew it regularly to thwart any attempt by them to walk away with an ad-interm ex parte injunction against your right to alienate the property.

2. The certified copy can be led in evidence.

Lost of original document will not make your case weak, you still have a good case even if your mother and siblings file a case for nullifying the sale deed executed in the year 2002 it is barred by limitation Act.

Did you file a complaint for having lost original documents, then it will help you. The certified true copy along with patta, revenue records, will help establish your ownership. If your mother takes a U turn, then she will have to face the legal consequences for denying her signature and thumb impression and uttering false statement in the court.

Keeping in view that the steps I suggested would have been taken by now,, if not, take immediate step as advised.

As regards, filing suit by your mother, let her file the suit. Lodge complaint with concerned police station regarding the lost of original sale deed and obtain a certified copy of the sale deed from the office of Sub Registrar.

1) Actually you to take objection on this latest sale deed, by showing your previous sale deed.

2) If you have made sale deed in the year 2002. For what purpose you have been waiting for registration for title on property?

1. If it is a fraud registration, she shall have to prove the same before the Court of law and the Court shall have to pass judgement declaring that your said title deed has been fraudulently been obtained by you.

2. Loosing the original title deed is certainly a minus point unless you have lodge a missing police diary and notified the said loss through Newspaper publication.

3. Since the deed was registered by her, it will be difficult to prove that it was fraudulently registered by you.

No not having the original copy will not weaken your case if you are in possession of a certified true copy of the deed.
