Freehold of dda flats purchased on poa

P.C. Joshi (Querist) 24 August 2014 This query is : Resolved
Dear Friends,

One of my friend purchsed a DDA flat in June 2003 from a property dealer, who had purchased the same one month back on POA from the orginal allottee. In both cases, the GPA and SPA have been registered but Agreement to sell has not been registered.My friends was unaware of the imlication of a unregistered conveyance deed.DDA has recently launched a scheme to convert leasehold to freehold.When the broker saw the docs. he pointed out this problem to my friend. he is quite upset. is there any way to get the flat converted into freehold.though, his family has been living in the flat for last 11 years, there is no problem any time from the original allottee or the property dealer who sold the property to my friend. But I want to know is there any risk of litigation or claimfor owvnership of the house from the original allottee or the property dealer taking the advantage of the shortcomings in the docs.

Can anyone please share the views.Replies suggesting "consult to Lawyer" advised not to share their views as the issue involves sentiments.

Thanks

1) to obtain clear and marketable title to property you need regd sale deed .

2) you can request the seller who has been granted registered SPA to execute sale deed in your favour .

3) you can apply later to DDA for conversion of flat from leasehold to freehold

Thanks,

Can at a later stage the Govt. may allow GPA holders to sell the property or relax the norms for conversion of GPA holders for freehold? or legally this the end of the road?
