Mr A purchased a leasehold DDA flat in 1999 from Mr.B by registering GPA. Mr B requested Mr A to stay in that property on rent. Rend deed also got registered. After six years, in 2005 Mr B (old owner) had obtained Conveyance Deed of his old already sold property by freehold process. After making a freehold property in 2005, he again sold it to Mr C in 2006 by registering Sale Deed.
Now Mr A claims that the property belongs to him. Mr A has registered GPA and Mr C has registered Sale Deed. What will be the position? who is the right valid owner of property? Kindly suggest.

GPA is not an authentic document of title and only sale-deed is meant for the actual document giving ownership in favour of C so A can agitate only in the court to refund his money, if h =e has any proof of its payment with him.
