Hi
There are Two Options available to you O
Option 1:
1) If the First Owner M.NARAYANA is claiming that he is innocent and that he had not executed any unregistered GPA or sale deed in favour of Mr.John Vattamattom, then the M.Narayana should actually file a cheating case against Mr.John Vattamattom for taking illegally the road widening compensation and also file a suit for cancellation of sale deed and for permanent injunction.
2) You can be impleaded as a plaintiff in the suit for cancellation of sale deed and permanent injunction.
3) Since M.Narayana was the owner and was in possession of land till the year 2016, he should file the suit for cancellation of sale deed and permanent injunction as First plaintiff (you will be the second plaintiff).
4) Mr.Narayana should also file a suit for recovery of money (road widening compensation) from Mr.John Vattamotam
5) Here M.Narayana has to bear the costs of filing of suits (court fee and advocate fees)
Option II:
1) As far as you are concerned, you are also at liberty to file
a) Criminal case against M.Narayana for cheating and
b) Also file a suit for declaratory title and possession by making M.Narayana and Mr.John Vattamatom as defendants.
2) Here you have to bear the costs for filing of suit (court fees plus lawyer professional fees.
3) Please note that in second option, you cannot file any cheating (criminal case) against Mr.John Vattamatom.
For query on fees, we will need to see the entire documents to decide on the extent of court fees and lawyer professional fees.
Hope this information is useful.
