• Regarding stamp noting

20 years ago , on a stamp it was written that i would handover ownership of an agriculture land (registry of land) to the current owner of stamp.However, the fact is that in govt. land record that particular land is not in my name. Now the stamp owner is threatening me to drag in court on the basis of stamp noting .  Is his case is feasible on the basis of that 20 year old stamp?

Document executed on misrepresentation, as you have mentioned "he told me that it was in my father's name." is not enforceable .File a suit for declaration and cancellation of the said agreement.

Whether the agreement was registered? If so, on what basis it was registered. Was there any limitation clause in the agreement? How can you register the land in some body else's name, when you are not the owner?

1. If the land was not in your name then how could you agree to transfer the ownership thereof to some one else?

2. Is the document registered? Unless and until the clauses in the document are perused it is very difficult for us to form an opinion on the legal validity thereof.

3. If you have specifically undertaken to transfer the ownership of your land then you can be prosecuted for making a false promise notwithstanding the fact that as per the records this land is not owned by you and 20 years have elapsed since the document in question was executed.

1) it is necessary to go through the document executed by you with your uncle . if your uncle had not made full payment as per the agreement refuse to honour the agreement .

2) you should call upon your uncle to make balance payment with interest at 18% pa .

3) before entering into any correspondence with your uncle better consult a local lawyer .
