Dear Client,

File FIR u/s 420,467,468,471 IPC. And if more people involved than u/s 120B also.

Through registered post, she can file complain in local police station where property is situated, CC to SP. Also, annex, copy of original sale deed and other document through which property acquired by mother.

But once she will need to visit there to record her statement.

How far ?

1. Retain the physical possession over the property and never loose it in any circumstances.

2. If you remain in physical possession of the property the fraudster would think twice to go to court on the basis of forged sale agreement.

3. unless and until he comes out with the forged sale agreement do not rush ti court.

4. If he presents his forged deed to establish his rights then lodge a complaint with Police Allegra forgery and impersonation and file a suit for declaration and injunction.

5. Till then ensure physical possession of the property .

File a complaint in the place where the land is situated. Write to the IG registration, sub-registrar of the place where the property is situated about the fraud and to cancel the agreement and GPA. Publish in local dailies that the said agreement and GPA is a fraud and your mother has no constructive role in executing the said documents.

Firstly she has to give a complaint under anti land grabbing act for recovery and proper legal action as per criminal laws.

In civil law she can file a suit for cancellation of the said sale agreement and GPA that has been created fraudulently by forging the documetns and impersonating her.

In which place should the declaratory suit be filed? Can I do all this on her behalf? In the declaratory suit to who all should the copy be sent. How can we stop any further proceedings of this land in the registrar office.

In my opinion declaratory suit may not be necessary, instead a suit for cancellation of the said transaction would be more effective and it can be filed within the jurisdiction within which the property situate.

The declaratory suit be filed in the Higher Court. If your mother authorises you then you can do all this on her behalf.

You can Consult a local Lawyer for filing of the declaratory suit and attaching all required documents with it.

For registration of a property or getting GPA digital photo and signature in front of the official is mandatory so how did the person get GPA signed by your mother? If you have valid proof then you can consult a local Lawyer to take legal steps.
