Land Deal And Stamp Paper Validity

  • I Entered into a land deal with my relative in May 2007 on a non judicial stamp paper.
  • After an year I paid the entire amount for the land in May 2008 with a promisory note signed with a revenue stamp on white paper.
  • In November 2010 sister of the relative gave a cheque for the amount as the land registration did not happen.The cheque bounced in Jan 2011 and immediately we sent a lawyer's notice for bounce of cheque.
  • Now they are claiming the cheque was stolen by us and they need not pay any amount to us.They also claim that the paper's we have are not  valid as 3 yrs have passed.what action need to taken in such a case.As I cannot file a civil case as i cannot afford stamp fees.Please Suggest.

The payment you made in 2008 is in connection with the document executed in 2007 hence is part of the same cause of action and considering that you have kept on pursuing the matter, further dates can be added to the cause of actions thereby clearly making it fall within limitation.

Don't get worried about the legal notice and proceed ahead with the filing of complaint u/s 138 NI Act.

You are also free to file a suit for damages and injunction against the relative and don't worry much about the court fee is it is not on very higher side and you can also make an application to the court regarding you inability to pay the court fee. The court will decide your application keeping in mind the relevant facts.
