sale of land on non rigistered agreement

You can claim back your property.  You have to file a suit for possession before the civil court. 

But first issue a legal notice stating that since the buyer has failed to pay the balance consideration, the sale agreement made on 1998 gets expired by virtue of non performance and lapse of time and call upon the buyer to deliver back the possession of the property .  If the buyer refuses to comply to the legal notice you can file a suit for possession.

If you send a legal notice claiming the balance of Rs.3,000, you will get a cheque immediately, since the buyer wont mind paying it due to steep increase in the land price. Your problem will be solved. Moreover since there is no clause time is the essence of the agreement, he may send you the cheque even after a long gap and demand registration by you.

Since possession is delivered so it is necessary that the document should be registered. Without registering, it is not admissible in evidence and no rights passes to vendee.

 Contract of sale of immovable property is  not barred by limitation.

Seller can claim protection under Section 53A of the Transfer of property Act 1882.

Also he can take a defence of  ADVERSE POSSESSION.

Intention of the parties is very important. Since the VENDOR has received 97% of the consideration her intention is to give away the property.

Registration is a mere procedure.

 In contract of sale of immovable property time is not the essence of the contract unless untill there is a stipulation of time is the essence of the contract.
