5) if seller had failed to execute sale deed your father ought to have filed suit for specific performance within period of 3 years

Hi

send them legal notice of specific performance of the contract, demanding the registration of the sale deed and vacant peaceful possession with all original documents.

If they agree to your demand notice go ahead with stamp duty registration of the sale deed and proceed with the mutation process and permission from the local/ municipal office.

If the opposite party refuses despite the demand legal notice you should file a suit for specific performance in the civil court where the property lies

1. Your dad has the possession of the property but possession is not equivalent to ownership.

2. Once the agreement had been executed it had to be honoured by the seller. Your father should file a lawsuit against the seller to seek court's directions to him to register the sale deed in his favour.

3. Since the sale deed has not been registered in your father's favour the seller can file a lawsuit for eviction of your father. Furthermore, if a criminal case for trespassing is filed against your father it will be difficult for him to wriggle himself out.

Hello,

1) The property should have been registered in your father's name soon after the entire payment was made.Since the money has been accepted by the seller they are obliged to register it in your name.

2) In fact you should have filed a civil suit against the seller demanding specific performance within 3 years of the unregistered agreement.

3) File a suit now seeking specific performance, praying to the court to condone the delay in filing the case and be prepared to pay the stamp duty as per the current market value.

Your father can file a suit for specific performance of contract seeking specific relief of execution of registered sale deed from the vendor in his favor on the basis of the papers in his possession, whether the same is reliable or not can be decided by the court after conclusion of the trial proceedings. A prayer for declaration of title by adverse possession can also be pleaded as the possession is with your father.

Consult a local advocate and proceed.

1. Your father is not yet the title holder of the plot since the sale deed has not yet been registered in his name,

2. Your father shall have to file a declaratory suit praying for declaration that the said plot has been legally purchased by him as per the agreement and also for direction upon the Registrar to register the plot in your father's name,

3. Alternatively, your father can file a specific performance suit against the seller praying direction upon the seller to register the plot in your father's name failing which the Registrar will regiter it in his name.
