Benama done but name not updated in khatoni

Ashish (Querist) 24 February 2024 This query is : Resolved
A land of about 600sqm is there. Now the owner of the land(Narendra) has sold 1/4th of land to his sister with benama done, but her name was not updated in khatoni. Now after 9 years she and her father has died. And her husband has sold this 1/4th land to me. I didn't check the khatoni but checked the old benama papers, so I purchased and gave the full amount. Now when I began construction on this land, her brothers(Narendra's sons) have filed a case in civil court that their brother-in-law sold the land for his bad habits like drinking and smoking.

What should I do, and how can I update my name in the Khatoni. I have both benama papers(old and new one).

Quick Summary

A buyer purchased a portion of land based on a benama (sale agreement), but the seller's sister's name was never updated in the official khatoni records. Years later, after the sister and her father passed away, her husband sold the land to the current buyer. Now, the seller's sons are contesting the sale, claiming it was due to the brother-in-law's alleged bad habits. The buyer, possessing both benama documents and having paid in full, needs to know how to update their name in the khatoni and defend their ownership in court.

If you have purchase the land by a registered sale deed, then you can fight the case on the same grounds, the court may decide the case on merits if there is merits on your side

Since you are title holder and have possession of property so prima facie your case is stronger than plaintiff's claim. Contest the case strongly.
