sir, we have land admeasuring 22 acres,in aurangabad,my father got decree of said land against government,and executed assignment deed in favour of one party( but assignment deed content is,we are transfering all our rights in favour of assignee,and he can implement his name in revenue record,) for consideration amount five lakhs rest amount after executing the said assignment deed.,without paying stamp duty,(coz stamp duty would be very high before executing the said decree in government offices coz the said land still in possession of state government,thereafter, its been 3 years now,but the said assignee has done nothing,so my father made D.D. of that consideration amount and cancel the said assignment deed without his presences,and send to him cancellation of deed along with D.D.with unofficial notice, now we have receive back the D.D. along with unofficial advocate notice stating we cannot cancel the assignment deed,SIR, my question is, what legal action they can take against us,? since it was registrate without paying stamp duty,coz there is number of citations stating,in order to transfer title, agent has to pay stamp duty, and also i am considering not to return his money back,coz his took our land granted for 3 year. i will be very great full for your advise,thank you.
