Sir The first agreement of sale was done on 2nd April 2013 and on the agreement it was mentioned that if I cant pay within the specified three months time I will pay the money with interest and the deed was registered with sub- registra.
2. The second agreement was made on 9th January 2014 by same person it was written as amendment to the previous deed and the clause of money to be paid with interest was deleted by the person and the deed was registered with the notary

You can go by registrar agreement i.e. is first agreement as it has been registered and ask money with interest accordingly because other two documents are not registered its just notarized.

 

So you can send a legal notice on the basis of first agreement.

If it is registered it cannot be cancelled unilaterally.  If possible then cancel after putting him on notice.

1) it is necessary to peruse agreement for sale executed by you to advice 

 

2) issue legal notice to purchaser to make balance payment 

 

3) if he fails to do so sue the purchaser to make balance payment

- Your query/question is not clear to answer satisfactorily.

-  However,Yes, you can cancell the Agreement to sale , if other party is not complying the clauses of the greement 

- Send him legal notice after narrating the details and thereby infrom him that the said agreement has already been cancelled.

- Even the Agreement to selll is valid for only three years.

- Further , Since, the last one is notiarized and not registered , hence the same is not a valid document as per law , and cannot be considered as valid evidence.

 

Good luck and dont forget to rating Positively.

you can cancel the agreement to sell as the purchaser has failed to comply with the terms and condition of the agreement. The cancellation of an agreement to sell (sale agreement) depends on the terms mentioned in the agreement.

If the purchaser is at default of payment after agreement with advance then you can cancel the agreement by sending him a legal notice through your advocate

give him a time of 30 days for registration of sale deed by paying full consideration.

If he fails to pay the complete amount you can cancel the agreement without paying any money to him. 

Or you can refund the advance without interest and cancel the agreement.

The first one was registered with the registrar and the rest of them were registered with the notary. Therefore this is a discrepancy which must be corrected. But as he is not honouring his commitments you can file for performance of the contract in  the civil court.

The agreement for sale is valid only for three years from the date of its execution tht too only for the agreements made by a registered document.

The notarised agreement for sale is basically not valid  and cannot be enforceable in law,.

Hence the agreement for sale which is barred by limitation can be ignored.

As the agreement is barred by limitation it cannot be enforced in law.

Hence the parties to the agreement may enter into a mutually agreed solution or to ignore the same.

you will have to file a suit for specific performance of contract against the buyer

as the limitation period has already lapsed, you can state that the agreement was orally extended by the parties from time to time on a mutual basis and the agreement is still subsisting and binding between the parties as on date

1. You should send him a legal notice informing that the property will be sold to a third party if he fails or refuses to pay the balance amount with interest within next 15 days.

 

2. Thereafter you can sell of the said property to a third party.

 

3. You might have to return the amount paid by him if there is no forfieture clause in the said Registered Agreement.
