Q: My sister bought a plot in Kanpur (U.P) from a person in Dec 2014 with the help of local broker. She verified with the help of lawyer that plot was legally correct. After that she bought and got legal registry of that plot from court.
But after one month later she got to know that same plot already sold by that person to a gentleman in 2011, means that person sold same plot to two persons and both people have legal registry of that plot.

When my sister told this incident to that person to return my money and you have done wrong with us, you cheated me,they are not listening now.

Please help me and suggest what to do next in this matter ????

First of all first who has purchased the property is the owner, but the vendor sold the same property to to another one, first purchaser will have to file suit for declaration and possession. Newly purchased person can file a civil and criminal case against the seller.

You may also file a civil suit for cost and compensation and for mental torture harassment and for damages due to the said resale of same property. You can file a case under Sections 420, 467, 468, 471, 120B of the IPC.

Regarding the resale of the property kindly note that
1.You were cheated by the person who sold the same property to you again knowing it to be already sold.
2.Though you have canceled the said transaction and you came to know that the same property is sold to another person, you may file a criminal case at the Chief Judicial Magistrates Court under section 420 and for punishment under other provision I.P.C. This will safeguard you and to be a proof for future litigation.
