As an NRI, I owned land in a good neighborhood for 3 years. Someone claimed it as theirs and put up a sign. I flew back, confirmed my documents were in order, and had the sign removed. Before leaving, my lawyer suggested an injunction to protect my property. I sold the land a month later, using my lawyer to handle the sale. Three months after the sale, the original claimant filed an injunction against the buyer and took possession. Now, the buyer is threatening legal action against me, accusing me of cheating. I had no intention of deceiving anyone. What are my legal options?

You likely have a legal defense as you acted in good faith, had valid documentation, and used a lawyer for the sale. The buyer should pursue legal action against the original claimant, and you should assist your lawyer in defending against any claims. Seeking legal advice from your lawyer is crucial to understand your specific options and protect your interests.
