I’m planning to buy a flat in Mumbai. It was originally allotted to a joint family in 2001, but the agreement wasn’t registered. The family later sold it to someone else in 2005 through a registered sale deed. Now, I want to buy the flat from the current owner.
Could you tell me if there’s any chance the original joint family, including any children, could challenge this sale later on? If so, how can I ensure this doesn’t happen?

Yes, there’s a chance the original joint family could challenge the sale, as the 2001 allotment wasn’t registered. To ensure this doesn’t happen, you should conduct a thorough title search and ensure the current owner has clear and marketable title, ideally with a no-objection certificate from the original joint family.
