Sir, My dad purchased a piece of land from one (a lady) of the 4 siblings of their ancestral property in 1995, I was 19yrs then, so my dad did everything. My dad paid land tax (Kishthi) in my name, in the appropriate village admin office between agreement and registration period. As the seller was a lady, she nominted her husband to get into an agreement with my dad on my behalf. I have patta, proper EC, tax receipts and so on.
In 2005, a land mafia (held some political posts in the same village) put his eyes on this land and wanted to grab it. As we were the only outsider, but for us he sent court notice to all for the entire land ( 100 cents). Fearing a bigger plot, we filed for a Permanent Injunction in DMC. However, my case was dismissed, but the court advised us to file a declaration suite.
While the case the opponent put for the entire land with all the other 4 people went in favour of the siblings. All his documents were prepared in 2005 was proven in the court. My opponent went for appeal and lost it again. Now he is threating me from taking over the property and cites the injuction case that got dismissed.
Fact: I am the only outsider in deal. All 4 siblings and my opponent are related and from the same village and community. This my opponent with some political background has taken to his advantage.
My question:
1. He has lost the case for full extent ( including mine), can I cite this to my favour? Will it help?
2. Is paying tax during the agreement & pre-registration period an issue?
3. I also know some people in power. Will mediating thru them help at this time ( while my declaration suite is in court)?
Pls advice,
Thanks
