Your cause of action is against the builder

2) if your earlier agreement for sale is not registered And subsequent sale deed in favour of third party is registered the sale deed would not be set aside by court

3) no case is maintainable against registering authorities

1) Now can make complaints against builder in consumer forum plus fraud and misrepresentation in the court.

2) while making case against builder you have to make party for the third party as well for possession of the flat.

3) Check the RERA rules as well or ask builder to give another vacate flat to you.

You have the point that 2% of registration charges you have paid the fraud is done by builder and not by you or third party, but the builder had given flat possession to third party and for that one flat twice stamp duty has been paid. So you can recover this amount for builder as well and ask for new flat possession as early as possible.

if your agreement for sale is duly stamped and registered then the subsequent sale by builder to third party is illegal

2) you can file civil suit to set aside subsequent sale and seek possession of the flat

3) make both builder and purchaser parties to the suit

4) seek appointment of court receiver for the flat pending hearing and final disposal of the suit

The 2014 sale is illegal having been transacted at a time when the agreement to sale in between you and the builder was in option.

Lodge a FIR against the builder for cheating you.

Approach the Civil Court and file a civil suit as well.

Contact a local lawyer.

Hello,

If you want the possession then File a suit for cancellation of the sale deed by making the company of the builder a party and also the person to whom the plot has been sold a party to the suit.

If you want the compensation then file a case in the consumer forum, if the builder is in company then the authorized representative will represent the case before the consumer forum.

regards

You have to file a suit for specific performance of contract against the builder and the subsequent purchaser may be impleaded as party to the suit along with the builder.

As an alternate prayer you can seek the refund of booking amount with interest from the beginning.

Since you already had an agreement to sale with the contractor, the contractor was legally bound not to sale the said flat to the 3rd party, thus the sale deed of 3rd party is invalid.

You can file a case either to get the amount you paid for flat with compensation or you can ask for a flat which the contractor has in his possession. As the contractor is in jail, his legal representative will be responsible on his behalf.

Also what the default clause in your agreement to sale? Please contact for more information

Hi,
