1. Lodge a complaint with the local police alleging forgery and criminal personation.

2. Once you lodge such complaint in writing the police would be obliged to register FIR and arrest the culprits.

3. Then file a civil suit seeking declaration that the sale of your share in the land on the basis of forgery is null and void and hence liable to be set aside.

Also pray for an interim stay in transfer of property before court as there can be further transfer of property.

If he has not purchased the property ion your name at all then there can be no property on your name.

You must understand the fact that one cannot purchase a property on a third person's name without an authorisation letter or an authority namely a POA etc

If you have evidence for giving the money to him you may initiate proper legal action for recovery by first talking to him and then through legal process

I want to know what is the way to get back my property which were fraudly registered on my behalf. 2ndly he started to cheat me when we purchased the land. Is there any appropriate authority where I make my complain against cheating and possibly there of to get back my property.

There was no property purchased in your name at all hence you cannot claim any property except for recovery of money

For cheating you must prove it but if you have documentary evidence for proving that then you may file a civil suit or lodge a police complaint.

You should immediately file an FIR for the offence of forgery which is punishable under section 420/467/468/120 B of the Indian Penal Code. The deed writer was conspired for preparing of all these documents therefore section 120 B of the Indian Penal Code will be applicable. There is 100% chance that you will get your property. All that offences are cognizable and non bailable therefore accused will be arrested immediately after filing of the FIR. The document you have collected are sufficient to initiate legal proceeding and proof that offence has been committed by the accused persons.

1. First of all file partition suit for the property which were purchased in joint names with you and in that partition suit also make the purchaser of the said land as party.

2. During the hearing of the said partition suit, the purchaser will submit his objection producing his title deed which was registered in his favour friaudently which can be proved before the Court making his said title deed null and void.

3. For the properties which were not registered in your name but shown in the photocopy that it has been registered in your name, lodge a police complaint against him (also for the case he has fraudulently filed against the bank for you) for cheating you. If police refuses to register FIR against him, file a Writ Petition before the High Court against police inaction praying for a direction upon the police to register FIR, investigate and act as per law based on your said complaint.

4. Thereafter you can file a Money Suit claiming refund of the money paid to him for buying properties in your name which he did not do, with interest, damage and cost.

1. You have multiple areas where he has cheated you including the case he has fraudulently lodged in your name against the lending bank.

2. You have two ways to seek relief and both of the said remedies should be sought by you. the remedies are given below:

a. First is the police complaint against his cheating you which is a criminal case to be filed by police by registering FIR against him.

b. the other one is filing money suit claiming refund of the money you had paid to him for buying the properties in your name which he did not.

3. You are required to detail down the no.s of acts through which he has cheated you for lodging the police complaint and also list out your total claim of money from him on account of his failing to buy the properties in your name for which the said money was sent to him.
