What actions can be taken in this unresolved property dispute?
My friend's father sold a flat to his maternal grandfather for Rs 17 lakh in 2012, but the flat has not been registered yet, and it is illegal. The agreement for the flat stated that the remaining money should be paid within 25 days, but the maternal grandfather said he would not pay the remaining amount. Now, after 13 years, the father is taking action, sending notices, and threatening that the flat should be vacated within 2 months, or the police will be involved. The father did not give the agreement paper to his maternal grandfather. According to the father, the original price was Rs 33 lakh. What actions can be taken in this situation?
In this situation, the sale of the flat is incomplete due to the non-payment of full consideration and lack of registration. Since the agreement paper was not delivered it makes the possession illegal. Your father can issue a legal notice and demand possession on the grounds of unpaid consideration and lack of legal ownership. You are recommended to consult your lawyer to chart out a proper legal strategy to get back the possession of flat.
Sir, your friend’s father should talk to a lawyer to check if the agreement is valid and see if the property is legal. If the agreement holds, he can file a case to recover the money or ask for eviction. If the flat is illegal, it needs to be sorted with the authorities first. Trying to settle the issue through mediation might help before going to court. It is advised to consult an expert lawyer who will assist you with the best course of action.
