This query is : Resolved
I would like to know if I can approach the consumer court for redressal if the heirs of the owner of a property bought by me refuse to sign the sale deed even though the payment is done in full and the same is acknowledged by the owner's power of attorney holder who was the developer at the time when the owner was alive. The owners had entrusted the developer with the job to collect the amount through a power of attorney made by them in favour of the developer. The heirs have come into the picture after the death of the owner and the delay for making the sale deed earlier was due to indecision on the part of the owners to form a society. The heirs are today claiming additional amount over and above the agreed amount paid by me and they say that they want the money for signing the sale deed and they will not be issuing any receipt or acknowledgment for the same. I was also given to understand that I could get the sale deed registered even if one of the parties (usually the seller) does not cooperate. Pl. advice under which sections in the registration act is this possible and also on what grounds or clauses can I approach the consumer court. Advise urgently. Thank you.

You approach the civil court by way of a suit for specific performance. Concumer court cannot do anything about this matter.
