A property broker showed me a plot and showed me the purchase agreement made with the registered plot owner.
On the basis of the right to sell the plot in that agreement, the broker signed a contract to sell the plot to me on a stamp paper of Rs. 1000. I signed the contract by paying an advance amount.
Now I have come to know that half of the plot has already been sold by the registered owner, and the broker has signed a contract to sell the entire plot to me and has taken an advance from me.
Please tell me whether
(1) I should take action against the broker or the registered owner?
(2) I have paid money to the broker who signed the contract, so will I have the right to take action against the registered owner?
(3) If the broker says in court that I also came to know about the half plot later, will he be saved in the case of fraud committed against me?
(4) How can I compensate for my loss?
Thank you.
- If you have been cheated by anyone, then you can take action against the cheater.
- You have given money to broker which was passed on to the owner, hence you can take action against both for colluding with each other to defraud you.
- The court will decide on the basis of the documentary evidences.
- You can file a civil suit also for claiming your loss.
