The son of the seller kept silent for a long time. However, you file case against him by approaching a local lawyer.

How does he challenge it? Is it thought a civil court? He can challenge it only through a civil court.

If it is an ancestral property it is possible for him to challenge it if he has a share in it as per the law relating to ancestral property which comes under Section 6 of the Hindu Succession Act right now. Otherwise, if it is a self acquired individual property of the seller he, on account of being the son of the seller, cannot challenge it as you purchased it by due process of land transfer.

I don’t find any reason for you to do anything before he challenges it in the court. If he challenges it in the court you can respond to it and place your arguments in your favour. Till then, it seems it is better for you to keep quite.

Dear sir,

Even if son of seller challenged it in court after huge span of 9 years he will not get any success. You have to fight out the case.

1. Son has a case to claim his share /rights on the proceeds of the property, more so since he was a major person at the time of the Sale Deed. However Son does NOT have any claim on you (as a new buyer party) and Son would have claim on the Assets /Properties of Father (Seller).

2. Son's claim is barred by law of estoppel, as a legal heir & beneficiary of his Father.

Keep Smiling .... Hemant Agarwal

Your seller was well within his legal right to sell the land. Let his son file a civil suit. You get it defended through your lawyer.

You need not to lead by filing any notice/suit against the son of your seller.

Respected raj kumar sir can seller son challenged registered sale deed after 9 years of registration and mutation, because I heard limitation for filing suit only three years after registration after registration

No one can stop the son to challenge the sale transaction but it will not stand and shall be dismissed.
It is appropriate to consult a local prudent lawyer for appreciation of facts/documents, professional advise and necessary proceeding.

if it is ancestral property the sons have right to challenge the same sale deed from the date of knowledge, by a partition suit.

Raj Kumar Makkad (Expert) 08 January 2020
Law of limitation does not stop the plaintiff to file the present suit if the same stands filed within 3 years of the death of his father as cause of action to file had accrued to him after death of his father. I have not commented anything on merit rather have mentioned only the legal position.

More than the Law of Limitation, the really relevant questions would be as to the grounds on which he is challenging the transaction. The challenge ought to be to the conveyance, not limited to the mutation.

T. Kalaiselvan, Advocate (Expert) 15 January 2020
If he has filed the suit seeking cancellation of sale deed on the basis of ancestral property, you can challenge the same properly as per the documentary evidences in your possession.
If you ascertain that this may not fall under ancestral property then you can challenge the claim appropriately.
Discuss with your lawyer at length and proceed.
