Sale of agriculture land

Hi,

Q1: I had a agreement to sale contract with a person who owns land (HUF from his inheritance) for buying a 10 gunta agriculture land for 25 lakh in year 2020 and paid a 4 lakh as advance with an agreement of On receipt of relevant documentations for registration remaining amount to be paid. Later I understood, 11E sketch from the land department is required, hence we applied for the 11E map with the govt. department. frequently we are checking with the government offices, but its not surveyed and not received any document. Kindly advice the way-out to safeguard the my money and dream land.

Q2: As this is going on a friend suggesting to have a general power of attorney (GPA) in your name, once you received the relevant document you can register it. Please advice if its a solution.

Q3: Is my position is to risky situation. ?

Since you have already entered into a sale agreement with the seller, you can ask him to provide the necessary documents in order to proceed with the execution of sale deed.

If he is not in a position to provide the requisited documents, you can ask him to cancel the agreement and return your money paid as advance.

If no frutiful result is forthcoming you can file a suit for specific performacnce of contract on the basis of the sale agreement and ask for the relief of execution of sale deed or to return the money with interest.

What is "11E sketch from the land department"? How is that it is essential?

Hi Sir,

11E Sketch is required in order to register an agricultural property in karnataka. Property is registered with the Sub Registrar’s office by a sale deed, partition deed, or gift deed. In each of these situations, we must submit an 11E drawing of the property to register.
