you have to file criminal complaint of cheating , criminal breach of trust against seller . if he had sold property to your cousin in 1985 how can his son sell the same to others persons in 2009 . you will also have to move civil court for setting aside sale made by son .

it is necessary to go through various agreements entered into between parties to advise . contact a local lawyer

.

the Supreme Court held that the GPA method of immovable property sales is not a valid form of transfer of property.The apex court said there can be no mutation of property in municipal and revenue records on the basis of such documents The said transactions may also be used to obtain specific performance or to defend possession under section 53A of TP (Transfer of Property) Act,"

Property sales through the common practice of general power of attorney (GPA) will not give ownership title to the buyer.

Once the property had been sold to your father's cousin in 1985 the latter had become the legal owner thereof, which could not have been sold to anybody else till the time your father's cousin did not relinquish his rights in it. The sale of a property by someone who does not have the right to sell the same is cheating in law. You can file a case for cheating and forgery. In addition to this you need to move the court of District Civil Judge for nullifying the subsequent sale.

Contact a lawyer so that he can peruse all the documents related to the property and chalk out the further legal recourse for you.

your dad cousin ought to have registered sale deed for property . the mistake he made was purchase of property on GPA .

as already advised you have to move court for setting aside sale deed by legal heirs . Sc has said as already explained to you that sale through GPA will not give ownership title to buyer . if property is in your possession you can defend possession .or file suit for specific performance
