I bought 5 acres of land near Vellore, Tamil Nadu, from a man who inherited it recently (February 2015) after his family divided their ancestral property. He has three sons and wanted to sell the land. We signed a registered agreement where he received an advance and promised to make the sale deed within three months. Now, two and a half months have passed, and he’s not answering my calls. Should I take legal action? Can I pay the remaining amount in court and get the sale deed even though his sons weren’t involved in the agreement?

Yes, you can take legal action as the seller has breached the agreement. You can file a suit for specific performance, compelling him to execute the sale deed. The court can order him to complete the transaction, and you can pay the remaining amount in court. However, the validity of the sale deed might be challenged by the seller’s sons if they have any legal claim to the land.

My father has four sisters, and I have one sister. We have ancestral land, about 3 acres, that needs to be divided amongst all of us. My father’s sisters and my sister are all married. I’m curious about how the land will be divided, and if my wife would have any claim to the portion I inherit.

My father had struck a deal to sell his land at 50 lakh rupees per bigha, but the buyers had written 38 lakh rupees per bigha in the agreement. When my father wanted to see the agreement, the buyers refused to show it. Fortunately, he managed to get a copy of the agreement and realized the discrepancy. He was naturally worried and refused to sell the land at the lower price. The buyers, upset with this, filed a false case against my father, accusing him of cheating, and even got an arrest warrant issued against him.
