Hi
My brother gave me 1 acre land as gift deed in 2001. Later in 2013, he asked me to mortigage my land for some loan and he took me to sub registrar office and asked me to sign few documents and I did. In 2014, he told us that we gave back 1 acre to him as gift deed registration, we searched all latest Encumbrance certificate, adangal and everthing. Everywhere it was showing our name as owner for that 1 acre.
Now, in 2017, he brought that registration document with my signature and a updated EC with that transanction, to sub registrar office and applied for passbook. Later we found that, he bribed and managed sub registrar in 2013. Generally Sub registrar will call both the parties and ask the seller, if he is willing to sell the property, and then he will take fingure prints of both the parties at a time. But in our case, it didn't happen like that, I was sitting in lobby, my brother brought few papers and asked me to sign, believing him, I simply signed those documents and registration got completed. I didn't even went inside.
Also somehow he managed some data entry official to hide that transaction in Encumbrance certificate for time being, it was not showing up till last week, but it is showing up now.
Now, is there a way you go legal on sub registrar and my brother? And get my land back?
