A cannot do anything, he could have been aware before investing in the construction of the property.  Compromise is the only solution.

A's has no documents to show he has only invested the amount for construction, he has no agreement with B.  A has to go smoothly with B, otherwise he will loose his invested money.

what if Mrs. X creates a document saying about the agreement. "Mr. A also asks for the agreement. but Mr. B refuses and says he will transfer for Rs. 6 lakhs after the construction work is completed."

would the above statement said by Mrs. X in a judicial stamp paper. will that be enough.
