Immediately inform the police in writing and lodge a complaint of cheating and criminal impersonation.

Give a newspaper advertisement that this man is not your agent.

This is essential for your protection.

If you have not taken any money from the prospective buyer then there is nothing to worry but since there is an agreement signed by your father there is every likelihood that there is an acknowledgment of receipt of money by your father.

if so then cancel the agreement in writing and inform the buyer about the forgery.

Sooner the police takes action on your complaint lesser would be the harassment to your father.

Hello,

I guess you have not posted the complete query.

Still, if you have been cheated then reach the police station immediately and lodge a complaint against the said person for cheating and forgery.

Your query is incomplete

2) if your father has signed agreement purchaser can file suit for specific performance

3) your defence should be that no advance money was received from the purchaser

4) that purchaser has failed to make payment within period stipulated in agreement

If the agreement specifies or mentions that you have taken money under the agreement than the agreement will act as receipt even if not notarised, so the two people can file a suit for specific performance against you as you father has signed the agreement

Now before that you should file a complaint against the person the agent for cheating and misrepresentation as agent and give a public notice via newspaper.

Further you have to defend the suit if the two people file suit against you that can be decided based on seeing agreement, what ere condition, who were the witness, mode of consideration. A simple defence can be they didnot followed agreement and you revoked it.

If those people claim the refund of money or enforcement of agreement, in the absence of any such valid documents or proof, your father may decline to entertain them.

Let them go to police or court, they may not be able to establish their false claim
