Action can only be taken after the expiry of the term of the agreement to sell.

Also, you will have to file a suit for specific performance of the agreement in the civil court.

What is the termination clause in the agreement?

Unregistered agreement to sale can be recieved as evidence under section 49 Registration Act for suit of Specific performance held in Vinod kumar and Anr. Vs. Ajit singh.

Also see Birham pal and ors. Vs. Niranjan singh 2011 (2) law herald (punjab - haryana) 1136.

There are plenty of other judgements where a suit of Specific performance form unregistered agreement to sale lie and it is admissible as evidence.

So you can go ahead give a notice if he doesnot complete registration file a suit of.specofoc performance and rely on these judgements for unregistered document (as registration is must under Registration Act but in case now you have not registered agreement then above-mentioned judgement will help).

File a suit for specific performance of the agreement to sell in question.

Time seems to be the essence of this agreement and the proposed seller is expected to adhere with the timeline.

The only thing that will come in your way is that, this is an unregistered agreement to sell.

You need to send him a legal notice for Registration of land or refund of money. If he doesn't adhere then file cheating FIR with police station.

First you issue a legal notice to the vendor stating that as per agreement you are ready and willing to perform your part of the contrat to get the property registered on your name at your expenses and ask him to execute the registered sale deed by receiving the balance of sale consideration amount on any convenient working day to be specified in his reply notice, failing which you would initiate legal action through court of law to enforce the sale agreement by filing a suit for specific performance of contract in which case he shall be mulcted with costs and consequences.

You can contact a local advocate and issue a legal notice on the above lines.

Sir actually we didn't made register agreement, but we made agreement on 100/- stamp papers .Sir in agreement seller clearly agreed, if he will failed to register land with in stipulated period of time then he will follow accordingly court rules.

You dont worry about the registration of the sale agreement.

You can issue the legal notice as suggested in order to make him committed and binding to the sale agreement after which you can file a suit for specific performance of contract.

Give the seller a notice, if required give a legal notice. If still he do not help in the registration process then take steps accordingly.
