Acceptance and deposit of cheques is sufficient to raise liability on you. The lessee can file a suit for specific performance.

That apart one of the co sharers can always validly enter into agreement for lease in respect of joint property even if other did not join or have no knowledge.

so far the sale agreement is concern signature of all heirs must. any sale agreement of immovable property must be registered under sec.17 of registration act.you can show pay-in slip of the bank to the court which is filled by your parents.and thereby you can prove that transaction took place without your notice and sale agreement is not binding to you.
