I am an NRI based in New York,USA. I have an apartment in Hyderabad that I had the intention to sell. I got cheated as stated below.
The price was finalized to 20 lakhs. Since I was in USA, my father sent me all the documents like Sale deed, GPA etc and I duly signed and returned it to my who is 75 years of age.The buyer took all the documents from my Dad by tricking him and paying 50000 in cash advance saying that he needed the documents to get a bank loan.After few days he claimed that he did not get a bank loan. He wanted to stay in the apartment until he arranges the money. We said no and started looking for new buyers. The buyer now is claiming that he has paid us 19.5 lakhs in cash and filed a case in court that he is in possession of the apartment and we are not registering the apartment in his name even though he paid the cash.We are in possession of the apartment. He has fabricated the original sale deed with some hand writing that he paid cash and my father received it. He has one witness (probably his friend) signed too. There is no witness signature from our end.Just because he is in possession of the original sale deed, he is claiming that the property belongs to him. We have filed a cheating case in police station.
We plan to respond to the case he filed in court. The fraud buyer is an Government employee of Secunderabad contonment board. He has no evidence any check/DD etc.He is lying that he paid the entire amount of 19.5 lakhs in cash. How to tackle such situation and get this resolved in the quickest possible way?
