Hi,
I purchased an agricultural land in Bangalore in June 2014, the khata for the same got transferred to my name. Later got to know that there is a case on that property since 2010. The case claims complainant has rights over the land as the land is an ancestral property.
The land ownership is :
Ms. A (lady) owned the land. As Ms. A expired the khata got transferred to Mr. B (Ms. A's Son).
Mr. B sold the land to Mr.C in 2005, on selling B declared that he is the only son of A and has clear title over the land which he got via inheritance and he sold the land with his and his 5 children (B1, B2, B3, B4, B5) signatures.
Mr. C sold the land to Mr. D in 2006
Mr. D sold the land to me in 2014.
Now the complainant Ms. P is claiming that Ms. A and her husband have 5 children i.e. [4 women Ms. P, Q, R, S and 1 man Mr. B] and that Ms. P has 1/5 rights over the property.
The case given by Ms. P is against Mr. B, B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, Ms. Q, Mr. C & Mr. D. In the claim of Ms. P there are in total 14 properties mentioned and the property which I bought is one among them. In all the properties she is claiming 1/5 shares (Ms. P states that Mr. B has not done partition of his ancestral property)
At present out of the 5 children of Ms. A and her husband only 3 are alive (Ms. P, Ms. Q & Mr. B) and 2 have expired (Ms. R & Ms. S).
Before purchase I was totally UNAWARE of any case and no body mentioned to me about the case.
Before purchase I even conducted 2 legal verification and both shown a clear title of the land with no encumbrance or other claims.
6 months after registration when I learned about the case, when I tried for an out of court settlement with Ms. P's son, he is threatening that he will get a court decree to cancel the sale done between Mr. B & C, Mr. C & D, and Mr. D and with me.
What should I do next. Is there any possibility of cancelling the sale deed through court decree. Isn't there any law to protect the buyer.
To protect my rights to whom should I file case against, Mr. B for showing the wrong details and selling at first place or against Mr. D who sold to me.
