What is the court decree and what is the relation of this man with your wife?
Clarify this point first.

Who gave you the GPA?Whether from the decree holder or none other else.In the latter case,the sale deed is not valid.Purchasing on Stamp paper without registered sale deed does not give you marketable title.

A lot of information required, whether sale agreement on Rs. 5/- stamp was registered.
Better consult a local lawyer and show him all the documents.

Buying a property from a GPA holder on Rs. 5 stamp paper itself indicates that the purchase cannot be legally maintainable through court of law as unregistered sale deed is inadmissible in law. Buying a property without ascertaining all the details or obtaining a proper legal opinion is fatal.You may consult a lawyer with all relevant papers and take his opinion on further course of action.
