This query is : Resolved
A plot of Land was bought in the name of 17 persons belonging four families known to each other and the consideration was paid equally by every person and conveyance is done vide seven Sale Deeds by different family members who sold their individual shre in the common plot.I am one of the co-owner in respect of the plot.The seven title deeds are with one of the head of one family group.
The issue is that one group of family(having the original title deeds) is now not cooperating for its sale, use, development or otherwise.Neither they are allowing others to get out of the plot by selling their shares,resulting a bad investment.
what steps are advised to:
>stop the sale by fradulency by group having original title deeds,
> for the safe custody of title deeds with someone who is not interested party but may act as custodian,
> arrange its sale at fair price and distribution of proceeds in fair way.?
please advise....

It involve many issues which can be analyzed and opined after perusal of the documents qua the property.
It would be appropriate to show the documents to a local lawyer, seek his/her opinion, advise and guidance.

Certified copy of the title deed can be got issued. Send notice to the person not to sell the land without permission from you. Consult local lawyer.

As rightly observed by expert Dr. Vashista, the matter involves lot of issues including the agreement if any among the owners at the time of purchase with regard to the disposal aspect. With no further details from your side, the only suggestion to you is to get the registration copy of the sale deed form the registrar's office and if you are more worried, issue a legal notice to the so called custodian of the document or file an injunction suit restraining the respondents from alienating the property in any manner other than with your consent.
