I purchased a plot in Bengaluru in October last year and possess all the necessary legal documents, including the title deed, sale deed, the Encumbrance Certificate (EC) from 2004 to date, and the newly implemented E-Katha in my name. When I began construction, a person named Kariyappa approached me and informed me that he had filed an Original Suit (OS) on the plot, advising me not to proceed with construction until the case was resolved. I later learned that Kariyappa was one of the landlords of the land and provided me with the OS number.
According to the legal documents, in 2003, Munishamappa, Thimarayappa, Muniyappa, and Kariyappa—all sons of Late Thimmaiah residing in Bengaluru—nominated and appointed developer Srinivas as their true and lawful attorney through a General Power of Attorney (GPA). Srinivas was authorized to undertake all necessary actions to develop their 2 acres and 12 guntas of land located in Survey No. 104/1A. Acting on behalf of the original landlords, Srinivas sold the plot to a person named Nagesh in 2004, as reflected in the EC, which includes the names of all the landlords and the GPA holder.
In 2007, Nagesh sold the plot to Murali, who remained its absolute owner until 2024, as documented in the deeds, EC, and Katha. During this time, Murali also mortgaged the plot to a bank to secure a loan, which is clearly recorded in the EC. I purchased the plot from Murali last year after conducting thorough checks. lawyer found no cases filed on the property in the past 21 years and even I obtained a loan for construction purposes. However, Kariyappa claims he filed an OS case on the property in 2015, which neither my lawyer nor the bank officials identified during their checks.
On what ground he can put OS??? In EC everthing looks clear from 2003 to till date.
please guide me how can i proceed further.
