Once an agreement has been entered into it binds both the parties to the extent of the duties imposed thereunder. The seller cannot run away from his duty to come to the office of registrar for the registration of the sale deed.

Without the sale deed being registered and the property mutated in your name in the revenue records the title of this property would not vest in you. Thus, it is very essential that the sale deed is registered.

In order to enforce the agreement and legally obligate the seller to assist in the registration of sale deed you may file a case for specific performance in the court of the Civil Judge.

The court would issue a notice to the seller and ask him to explain as to why the case should not be decided in your favour.

If the court decides the case in your favour then the seller shall have to remain present in the office of registrar for the registration of the sale deed.

A criminal complaint for cheating can also be filed against him.
