your known person has to approach the vendor/owner of the property or from whom he has purchased in 1977 for execution of sale deed in his favour before the jurisdictional sub-registrar by paying present applicable stamp duty

i don't think any amnesy scheme available for payment of stamp duty, but to my knowledge stamp duty on current guidence value and not on the amount shown in the agreement

Yes he has to pay the stamp duty as per the present rate. To be frank as there was no registered sale deed for the past agreement, the registering authority will consider it as a sale occuring at present and will demand stamp duty as per current rates.

Mr.Srinivas is correct the current rate of the stamp duty should be paid. This is going to be the original sale and whatever the consideration paid earlier the value of the propertyfor the stamp duty will be calculated on the basis of the current guideline value of the particular property.
