Hi, if you are party defendants in the suit and you have received the summons from the court then you have to engage the advocate and contest the case on merits.

1. Is the seller alive? If no then on what basis have the sons claimed the property sold by their father?

2. Has the property been mutated? If yes, was the notice of mutation issued?

3. I hope you conducted due diligence to ensure that the seller had the authority to sell the property. A sale of a property, made without authority, can subsequently be annulled by the court on a legal challenge brought before it. The purchaser can be uprooted from the property if the court holds that the sale is illegal.

4. If the sons had a share in the property then their consent was required before the sale could be made. If the consent was not obtained then the sons can sustain their claim in the court.

5. Since the case has been filed you should contest it on merits.
