1. This is your property and you have every right not to proceed with this sale.
2. Send him cancellation notice and refund his money.
3. The buyer though can file a suit for specific performance of contract, considering the approach of the court in such matters the buyer is not going to a decree in his favour.
4. ina y event once you send him a cancellation notice and return his money, continue to enjoy the property.
Offer to refund Rs 3 lakhs with interest at 10 per cent
2) suit filed by purchaser would take years to be disposed of
Dear Client,
Until buyer himself not defaults, you cannot cancel the agreement. Let the buyer approach the court for specific performance of agreement, there she will say, house is on your name and she was not authorize to sell neither sale is approved by you.
Further, agreement itself is invalid as house is in your name. And she executed agreement without authority and POA by you.
you need execute a registered cancellation deed with him willingly and return his money. If he is not agreed then you need to file a suit for cancellation in the civil court
See if the agreement is signed the buyer can go for suit of specific performance and the court can order you to transfer the property in his name, now the agreement can be cancelled only on condition if the buyer does breach any condition or he mutually agree for cancellation.
See even you agree to refund the amount he can seek specific performance at this stage it would be better to offer him interest and cancel the agreement.
Sir the notarised agreement is also valid and can be taken as evidence of the transaction.
Hello Sir,
Please be advised as follows:
You are required in the present scenario to submit a response to the court in a language expressing your hardships and critical condition of your mother invoking humanitarian grounds and then for the future course the court if considers your ground might direct you to pay interest or some extra amount of money other than 3 lakh token money in order to let you save your house.
You have to send a notice to him and ask him to take the amount back and have the sale agreement cancelled. if not he can initiate a case on you which may be problematic for you. hence you can hire a lawyer for the same.
Dear sir
As you have made an agreement with the buyer so you and buyer both are bound by the conditions mentioned in the sale agreement.
So yes he can sue you in court if you cancel the agreement or delay the registration process.
If you are returning the money with Interest and want to cancel the agreement then let him go to court. There you agree to pay the money back with Interest and costs paid by him. There are chances that court order relief in your favor and cancel the agreement.
Dear Sir,
Get issue a Legal Notice to the buyer and enclose a DD for Rs. 3,00,000/- (Xerox copy) and if he did not come forward to take the original DD and to cancel the sale agreement then the agreement itself comes to an end.
Same defense she will take than, mere purchase in your name, dose not make you owner and mother is actual owner and she has not authorize you to deal for the property.
If the agreement for sale is not by a registered document then you need not be worried about it.
Let him sue you, once you receive summons, you may inform court that you are not willing to sell the property since it was forced on you however you are ready to return the booking amount, the court may accept your proposal and pass a decree accordingly.
However if it is a registered agreement then you may have to fight back strongly on the basis that this property belonged to you whereas your mother without any rights had entered into the sale agreement without even informing you etc.
You can ask him to proceed through court especially if the sale agreement is by an unregistered document.
Even the court will not entertain the suit for specific performance of contract if the sale agreement is not a registered document, instead it may p[ass an order to refund his advance amount.
