THIS IS QUERY ONLY TO AVOID UNNECESSARY STAMP DUTY COSTS, TIME BEING N UNTIL THE RESOLVE AND DO SALE DEED REGISTRATION LATER.

Agreement of sale cum GPA through notary is not valid as it is open to risk as the vendor can sell the plot on notary too many person. As you said it is already in litigation you are adding another to your name. Please go for agreement of sale cum GPA and register it. Stamp duty is not unnecessary it will provide you security.
