Yeh clear fraud ya cheating situation create kar sakta hai.
Court Ka Basic Principle
Indian courts generally do principles ko dekhte hain:
- First in time rule
- Bona fide purchaser rule
Agar pehla buyer sirf agreement holder hai aur dusre buyer ne registered sale deed karwa li hai aur wo bona fide purchaser hai, to situation complicated ho sakti hai.
Scenario 1 – Pehla Buyer Registered Sale Deed Holder
Agar pehla buyer ke paas valid registered sale deed hai:
- Second sale generally void ho sakti hai
- Court pehle buyer ka title protect karta hai
Scenario 2 – Pehla Buyer Agreement Holder Hai
Agar pehle buyer ke paas sirf agreement to sell hai aur dusre buyer ne registry kar li:
- Specific performance suit file kiya ja sakta hai
- Fraud prove karna important hota hai
Buyer Ke Liye Important Legal Remedies
1️⃣ Civil Suit for Declaration
Buyer court se declaration mang sakta hai ki dusri sale deed illegal hai.
2️⃣ Cancellation of Sale Deed
Fraud prove hone par court sale deed cancel kar sakti hai.
3️⃣ Specific Performance Suit
Agar agreement exist karta hai to buyer registry enforce karwa sakta hai.
4️⃣ Criminal Complaint
Double sale ke cases me cheating aur fraud ke allegations bhi ho sakte hain.

- Property title chain

Due diligence na karna bahut bada risk ban sakta hai.
