my one uncle has sold one of his land to a person after the injuction. the sold land was on his own name which he got mutual division between his brother before injuction. the purchaser had tried many times to get mutation the purchased land but I have raised objection as land has been sold after injuction. his case for mutation has been rejected from DCLR. now he is trying to grab the land on the basis of registry deed. However the case of title suit is still under court.

1. The sale of land, despite the injunction ordered by the civil court, amounts to contempt of court. However, contempt proceedings will not result in cancellation of the sale deed. To cancel the sale deed a separate suit for cancellation of sale deed will have to be filed by the aggrieved person against the seller and buyer.

2. If the possession has not been delivered to the buyer then he can be restrained through temporary injunction from taking it,

You have ti file a suit for declaration and injunction.

If you could the allegations as made herein in the court also then only your suit would succeed and would get you the necessary relief.

However after so many years passed in the meantime I do not find it great idea to file such suit now.

Selling or alienation of property under dispute especially when there is an injunction on it and is currently effective, then a contempt petition can be filed against your uncle who sold it without obeying the court order.

The affected party may file a contempt of court petition against the uncle who sold it and let him face the music of law accordingly.

Out of court compromise settlement and an amicable solution to the property dispute is always welcomed by court hence you can go ahead with your proposal.

For cancellation of the sale deed you may have to file a separate suit impleading the parties to the sale deed.

1) you can file consent terms in court

2) in consent terms it should be mentioned that plaintiff would be entitled to 50 per cent share in property

3) deed of cancellation of sale deed would be executed by the parties

4) on consent terms being filed suit would be disposed of

1. Without perusing the pleadings and the issues framed by the court it is not possible to answer your query.

2. Any statement contrary to the pleadings will always favour the opposite side.

3. Consult a lawyer with complete facts and copies of pleadings.
