First, issue a detailed legal notice to the seller and the subsequent purchaser calling upon them to explain how the same plot was sold twice and to cancel the subsequent sale deed executed in 2013. If they fail to comply, obtain certified copies of both sale deeds, the Encumbrance Certificate, HMDA layout approval and other relevant records, and file a civil suit for declaration of title, cancellation of the subsequent sale deed, permanent injunction and, if necessary, recovery of possession. If the second sale was fraudulent, you may also initiate appropriate criminal proceedings for cheating, forgery and other applicable offences. Prompt legal action is advisable to protect your ownership rights.

You appear to be the prior registered purchaser. If your Sale Deed was validly executed and registered in 2008, the vendor had no legal authority to sell the same property again in 2013. Such subsequent sale is liable to be challenged and, if done fraudulently, may also attract criminal liability. Immediately obtain certified copies of both Sale Deeds, EC, layout records and revenue documents. File a Civil Suit for Declaration of Title, Cancellation of the subsequent Sale Deed, Permanent Injunction and Recovery of Possession (if necessary). If the second sale involved forgery, impersonation or deliberate cheating, you may also initiate appropriate criminal proceedings against the persons responsible. Do not delay, as prompt legal action is essential to protect your title and prevent further third-party claims. A detailed document verification by a property lawyer is advisable before initiating proceedings.

If you have a registered sale deed from 2008 for Plot No. 43, and the same property was subsequently sold to another person in 2013 without your consent, you may have remedies for declaration of title, cancellation of the subsequent sale deed, and injunction. The first step is to obtain the certified copies of both sale deeds and the latest Encumbrance Certificate (EC) and verify the title chain. Since the subsequent transaction occurred in 2013, limitation is a crucial issue, particularly regarding when you first came to know about the subsequent sale. Do not delay further. Depending on the documents and facts, appropriate civil proceedings can be initiated before the competent court.
