Dear Mr. Manjunath,

The best way to stop registration of a property is to file a case on the basis of cause of action arising on the ground that you have a interest in the property as it is only way for livelihood for you and your family and that the court shall  direct for  an injuction order prohibiting the owners to sell or do any sort of changes to the shape and title to the property.

You have to approch civil court and obtain an order that requires your owner toi refrain from selling the property till your claim over the property is settled by the same court.

You cannot stop registration of sale deed,but you must inform the purchaser that you are tenant therein and your rights are governed by the rent Act,in case owner conceals the fact that there is a tenant in the premises.

I think niranjan's suggestion is very appropriate in your case.

Adv. K.S.A.Narasimha Rao (legalquestadvisor@gmail.com )     25 November 2012

I do agree with Niranjan and you can make an offer to purchase the property from the owner at the prevaling market rates and if you are unable to purchase as per market value, then third parties can purchase the same and it cannot be restricted by you.  However, you rights being a tenant are protected.

Niranjan is right, but you can also approach with an applicaton before the sub-registrar that you are a willing purchaser and in possession of the property.

Dear Manjunath,

Right now you have only option to take chance litigation by way of issuing a legal notice as per law of preemption, request him to furnish the offer price to buy the said property as if you are unaware of any developments taken place so far taken.

Dear All,

Thanks for the pouring advices..

 

Should I also send an legal notice thru lawyer to the new buyer(he just 2 buildings apart)  that I have an agreement for 23 months more and iam an tenant who has first Rights for purchase, and as I have done investment and running an clinic so dont indulge in purchasing the property..

 

Thanks to all

Can Rights of preemption help me...

Raj Kumar Makkad (Adv P & H High Court Chandigarh)     30 November 2012

Legally saying, you have no pefrential right to purchase the property so the owner cannot be stopped to sale his property to the person of his choice and his own terms and conditions. No one is going to evict you from the rented premises as change of oownership of the property do not mean that you have to be evicted. In case the subsequent buyer forces you to evict only then you have cause of action in your favour on the basis of earlier agreement for 5 years or the cost incurred on interiors etc. 

 

If owner agrees to sale tha property to you then it is ok but if he dont do so, you cannot go to court against him and even there is no use to send legal notice to him as the same is nothing but a futile excercise.
