Hello,

1) If your father has sold the house to you for a consideration and has received payments and the receipts are in evidence of the same he can not sell it to someone else.However the Sale Agreement being not registered has rendered the the Agreement invalid before the court of law.You don't have a clear title of the property as a result

2) you can file case of cheating , criminal breach of trust against your father as he has sold it to some one else after having sold it to you.

3) You can certainly approach the court to get a stay stating that you had bought the house on payment of consideration and have the receipt of the payment and that your father had handed over the possession of the house to you.You may state that due to your father's failing health the registration could not be completed.

4) Do not give possession to the buyer by refusing to move out and in case he complaints to the police you need to state the details to the police and make them aware that the matter is before the court.The police can not involve where the matter is sub - judice.

5) If your father dies before giving possession the buyer can move court to evict you and take possession. Therefore you need to move court first and secure a stay immediately.Engage a local lawyer immediately.

what legal option do i have. is it possible to file FIR complaint for fraud with police n in court

You can lodge a criminal complaint against your father for cheating you especially after entering into a sale agreement and having received full sale consideration amount but illegally sold the property to a third person with an intention to cheat you.

can i get stay on the above non registered documents.

You can file a suit for specific performance of contract seeking specific reliefs and injunction restraining the defendants to not to alienate further as well as to not to initiate possession process other than by due process of law.

can i send the notice to the buyers this house u bought is illegal.

You should send a legal notice to your father to perform his part of contract and express your willingness to perform your part of contract as per the sale agreement. You do not have to write to the buyer about this.

father is very sick if he dies before giving the possession wat will hapen.

You can initiate due process of law against the other legal heirs of your father to complete the sale agreement by executing a sale deed duly registered on you.

can i rent out the premises and the shop. based on above documents just to create more problem for the buyer when he comes to take possession

It would be illegal to rent out the premises which is yet to belong to you legally,take the help ofalocal advocate in the event of any such crisis.

1. Your father had executed an agreement to sell in your favour. Unless the agreement was cancelled you can challenge the sale made by him as you can claim rights under the agreement.

2. Any legal notice to the buyer will be futile.

3. The only legal recourse which can be adopted to stop the buyer from taking the possession is by challenging the sale deed and seeking a stay on the possession by the buyer. The death of your father before delivery of possession will not stop the buyer from taking the possession as the sale deed has been executed.

4. You cannot rent out the premises as the same has been sold.
