My brother and I settled our ancestral property dispute in 2014. We agreed on a share division and he was to buy my portion for ₹2.8 crore. However, the sale deed was registered for only ₹1.5 crore, leading to stamp duty evasion. I reported this to the Sub-Registrar, but my complaint was dismissed. Can I now file a case in the High Court against the State Authority for not taking action against this evasion?

You can file a writ petition in the High Court challenging the Sub-Registrar’s decision of dismissing your complaint. The court may consider your complaint and direct the State Authority to investigate the stamp duty evasion, depending on the evidence you provide.
