• Double registration of our property

We had bought a plot in punjab in 2006, done registry and everything, we did not wanted to build any thing on it yet so we kept it as it is. In 2017 someone started to. Build house in that plot and as we stay away from the plot when we came to. Knw it was 80% built.. When we went to the site and discussed we came to knw that the person building it had bought the same from. Some property dealer in 2017 and started to. Built it immediately... The registery was fake and he was cheated... So we put a stay order on construction and later settled the issue by paying the construction cost to the party and toom. Possession of the house, completed it, got it approved from municipal corporation office under my father's name, we are paying for the electricity bills ever since and living in it for few days time to time... The case was resolved in 2018 jan and was taken back after signing affidavits approved in tehsil where the other party mentioned that he was sold fake registry and that this plot is ours.. Now in 2019 September.. A new party has come with a registry saying that its their land and the registry is dated back to 2008, pls tell is there a issue now.. As we never aold the plot after 2016 and we r in possession of the house now which is fully completed.

Complain to police against all such person claiming your property as their own.

Collect certified copies of all such registered deed from the registry office.

File suit in court seeking cancellation of all such sale deeds.

Without fail , file FIR. No surprise , person who bought is also involved with seller. File FIR u/s 420, 467, 468 & 471 IPC. Whoever purchased it must be involved as before purchase, buyer do title check. Whoever came to you with new registry, kick him and file FIR without delay. And person who with new registry, scold him back.

- Since you have purchased the said plot in 2006 , Hence from this day of purchase you become the absolute registered owner of that plot.

- Any claimant after the year 2006, cannot be owner of the said plot as per law.

- You should try to trace the seller of the said plot and further lodge your criminal complaint against him under various provisions of IPC. 

- As the said property is in your fathers name and further you have already approved in Tehsil , and also paying electric bill etc, hence by this way , you are having possession of the said plot with title documents.

- Dont worry, the said new purchaser himself will lodge complaint against that seller in question.

- No, need to settle the matter with the new purchaser after paying any amount. He will himself approach the Court for legal action. 

- Since, you people have not sold this plot till date to anyone , so continue your possession without fear.

 

Good luck and dont forget to rating Positively.

The court has to decide the same. If you have possession don't leave the same. Let the new party prove the right and take possession

If the all the paperwork and possession of the property on your name than no need to worry ask them to prove in the court.

 

Don't leave the possession of property and keep all mutation papers from last 40 years back till date update.

The new party which appears with registry of 2008 might also be cheated by someone by making false documents.

You should lodge FIR against him for making forged documents and claiming your house.

If someone else is also claiming the proeprty by a title deed, you may ask him to produce the documents  and if it was dated after your purchase you may ask him to approach court of law with a suit to declare his title to which you can object and produce the documentary evidences of your title and get his case dismissed.
