Dear All,
I thought of seeking your advice on the problem my family is facing. My mother owns a plot(non-agricultural) in Hyderabad(Qutbullapur), which was purchased by my father(in 1989)when he was alive. Original documents are in my mother's possession. There was a compound wall & shed constructed in this plot. The south wall damaged due to rains recently. We were planning to visit that place and re-built it. In the meantime, we came to know that someone is cleaning the place. We approached registration office(in Dec 2011) for EC and realized that property was sold by some lady claiming as my mother, the photograph and signature are not same my mother's.
We approached the police, registered a FIR. We are not aware of the next procedure.
1) Is it within the registrar's authority to cancel the illegal sale deed? Few lawyers, whom we approached, said 'yes' and few say it has to go thru civil case.
2) How important is it to bring the buyer to the police? We were told that the police has to bring the buyer and get his consent (signature) on the registration cancellation form.
If the buyer is genuine and got deceived, why will he/she sign on such cancellation form, without recovering their money? On the otherhand if it is a fake transaction, as in our case, the buyer claims to be a close relative of one MLA, what should be our approach?
Since we all work outside Andhra Pradesh, visiting Hyderabad frequently to sort this is difficult. Knowing the next action or the approximate timeline will help. My mother will not be able to handle on her own - she is touching 60.
Appreciate your advise. In case you need any further details, please let me know. Thanks in advance, for your time, patience and responses.
Regards
Lakshmi
