13-Sep-2023 (In Property Law)
A purchased a plot of land from B about 3 years back through registered sale deed. A has possession of the said plot. A created some construction on the land. When A tried to erect a boundary and gate on the plot, C claims that B had already sold the property to C about 18 years back and that sale deed was registered also. Knowing that C is making a false claim and the alleged 18 year old sale deed is forged, what action can be taken by A.

You can file criminal complaint against C underprovisions of cheating, forgery, fraud etc. This would be in the criminal sphere.

Ensure you are in possession of the properly from a practical point of view. You may also want to file a civil suit for permanent injunction against C.
