As per your version, a Sale Agreement was already registered by X in your father's name. And again you are saying that prior to your father's death, your father made an agreement in your favour. Now the legal heirs of X are demanding more amount. All these questions are not related to each other. So specify what is your doubt. You should clarify:
1. X registered Sale Deed or an Agreement of sale, in the name of your father. What document X has registered.
2. If it is an Agreement of Sale stands in the name of your father, he has no right to execute another agreement in your name by your father.
3. If a Sale Deed already registered by X in either your father's name or in your name, the legal heirs have no right to demand more money, now.

In the above circumstances, whether I can demand the legal heirs of the X to execute the Sale Deed in my favour on the terms of agreement executed by my deceased father and X. Please oblige. Thanks in anticipation.
