My mother owns a plot. (In Maharashtra). One person (Cheater of class 1) (We don't even know him) has filed a special civil suit against this property claiming that we have made an oral sale agreement with him to sell this property to him. That person has also specified imaginary sale amount and many other terms in his so called oral sale agreement. Like
- We have received Rs. 1000 as a token amount in front of 2 eyewitnesses.
- We should register this property within 7 days, and if we failed to do so, then we will be responsible to all the loss. Etc....
He has also demanded stay order on the sale of this property. However we don't have any plans to sell this property in near future.
In law suit he has attached a 7/12 certificate of the plot, which clearly mentioned my mother as the owner of plot. There is no written evidence which confirms the oral sales agreement.
Now my questions are,
1. What is the importance of oral sale agreement to the court?
2. What is the importance of eyewitness in this case, as they will definitely speak in that cheaters favor.
3. What further steps I can take to make this case stronger.
Thanks in advance.
