Quick Summary

An agreement of sale with possession does not automatically grant legal title; the seller remains the owner until a registered sale deed is executed. If you have possession but no sale deed, you may need to consult an advocate. Options include registering the property to a relative, filing a declaration suit based on long-term possession (over 12 years), or serving a legal notice to compel the seller to execute the sale deed.

Agreement to sell with possession does not confer title still seller is owner of property. For absolute ownership your friend need to get registered sale deed.

Contact advocate to explore alternate ways by registering the property to your own kith and kin to generate a valid title deed or ways to file declaration suit based on uninterrupted possession over 12 years, with knowledge of the original owner and supported by revenue records.
