Can we reclaim land exchanged without registration?

Hello Sir or Madam, how are you doing today? I have a question regarding the following matter: My mother owns land in our village, which she exchanged for another piece of land. Both parties signed an agreement on stamp paper and had it notarized six months ago, but the registration was not done. Now, there are some issues and false accusations between us and both parties. Can we take our land back? Is there any legal process to reclaim it, and do we need to continue to pursue this to get our land back? Also, can they sell our land if it was only notarized on stamp paper and not registered with the government?

Since your land exchange was not registered, the transaction is not legally binding. You can file a civil suit in court to reclaim the land. Without registration, the other party cannot legally sell the land. You should complete the registration to make the transaction valid and enforceable. It is advised to consult an expert lawyer who will assist you with the best course of action. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
