Original owner sold the plot 2 times in 1990 | --------------------------------------------------- | | Thumb print not matching in our chain papers here Appears after 25 years to take ownership of plot. Thumb-match | 3-4 owners in between | Someone I know [A1] | Another owner | Latest guy who bought it [B1] So basically our chain came out to be fake since the thumb prints are not matching when the plot was sold for the first time in 1990. I would like to know what is the liability of the person I know. Is he required to go to police station if the police calls him without any court orders? The investigating officer is dishonest. He has already asked for bribe from

All actions of fraud once it is proved is null and void. The liability of the person who sold you the plot will depend on whether he was a party to the fraud. Since he did not know of the fraud, he will not be punished. However, you may be entitled to take back your money from him in a civil proceeding depending on the facts of the case.
