Respected lawyers need your advice I vincent bought a property in the year 1997 (till date I own the possession of the property only in 2014 Mr. Venkatesan is claiming the property) from Mr Annamalai procuring all manual encumbrance certificate from the year 1966 to 1997 till the date i bought the property before registration in which there was no name of Mr. Venkatesan is mention in manual encumbrance certificate. In 2014 this person Mr. Venkatesan is claiming the property saying that his mother in law ( has given power to Mr. Venkatesan in 2014) has bought the property from Mr Annamalai in the year 1983 but that was a pending document.Mr. Annamalai immediately registering the same Property to Mr. Venkatesan while the document is still a pending document. Mr. Annamalai cleared the pending document during the year 1989 claiming the ownership of the property and in the same year he gives the power to Mr. Pazhani an agent to sale the property from whom I bought the property in 1997 . While in the manual encumbrance certificate which I got clearly shows that in 1983 the document is pending and in 1989 only the Mr. Annamalai becomes the rightful owner of the property by clearing the pending document in 1989. Can a property be registered to another person while it is still pending in registar. Now I don't know what should I do
