Ours is a co-operative society registered under Co-Op Societies Act established about 30 years ago. We were able to convince a land lord in our village to donate a piece of land for constructing an office around that time. They gave this piece of land by a registered gift deed. There were no conditions stipulated in the deed. However, it was mentioned that it is for construction of an office and the name of the donor should be written in bold on the building.
Our society has not been active and now sort of died. We never went forward to construct the office. The land has been idle. Now this land lord has re-donated this land to a different coop-society under their control. They did this by a registered gift deed. They did not cancel the earlier deed. They are saying that land donated to first society was for a specific purpose and it was never materialised and now it became impossible to build an office(as the society died). Hence the gift was automatically revoked as the purpose has become an impossibility.
Now the second society has taken over the possession of the land and they are doing some works. They are influential people.
Now if we (the first society) want the land what we should do? Should we approach Tribunal, local court and pay the huge fees, or High court for any injection sort of order? Can the co-op dept help in this?
Unfortunately the revenue records are not showing our name. We just have a gift deed copy taken from sub-registrar office (as the original is missing).
