Land purchased but registration being denied. What can be done ?


01-Feb-2023 (In Property Law)
Sir, my dad purchased land but registration not completed due to some land tax issue.( Land tax not paid from many years). Regular follow up done but they use to say we will do it after solving tax issur and we trusted them as relatives and they were in financial problem.After 15 years dad contacted many people and cleared the tax problem and now fresh papers came with their name from whom we purchased the land. They denying to register the land by our name. We got four bond papers signed by them saying that all amount is paid and will do registration after solving land tax issue. We got home opening pics our marriage pics where they were also present in the functions. I don't have legal registration papers but can I file case on them. And what are the chances of winning the case

Yes you can file a suit for specific performance and you have a better chance to win the case if you have possession of property as well.You can as well file a criminal case to pester them to fulfill promise.

What and all papers with you related land and agreement between land lord and you. All material papers to be needed for verification for filing appropriate suit. Kindly produce and get legal opinion on those documents.

Hi, This is cheating and forgery committed by the party. You may think of filing criminal complaint against the party.Now, even if you paid entire amount still the land does not belongs to you as registration is not done. You may check whether the party might have sold the land to anybody else in the mean time. You can approach a lawyer to take forward of your complaint.

Sir as per Contract Act any agreement having a limitation to complete within 3 years. But in your case there is no time limit is fixed and you can sue with care and caution. But in my memory I read it recently some Supreme Court decision on it that you can sue for your relief.

Yes, you can file the case, if the said papers like bond are available with you in original, you file both civil suit and criminal case also.
But need to cross check the documents available with you in detail.
