My uncle sold me a property for 8 lakhs, taking a 3 lakh advance. He then refused to transfer it to my name. I filed a case and won, but in the meantime, he transferred the property to his son. My sale agreement is registered and shows up in the encumbrance certificate. Is this legal?

No, the transfer to his son is not legal. The registered sale agreement creates a legal encumbrance on the property in your favor, making subsequent transfers void. You can enforce your rights through court action to recover the property.
