Dear Sir,
I have purchased a plot of land from Mr.X in the year 2008 but later I found that he has already
sold the same plot earlier to another person prior to selling the same to me.I have,in the meantime,
mutated the land in my name in Block land revenue records and obtained mutation certificate.Now,the first purchaser wants to transfer his rights to me for a consideration of Rs.2,00,000/- .
Now,I wish to know the mode of transfer as to whether
1) I have to pay stamp duty all over again.
2) Is it possible that I may obtain a power of attorney from him and then gift the same to my wife?
3) Can I make him confirming party in the earlier deed and thereby avoid stamp duty.
4) Any other means so that I may not have to pay stamp duty twice for the same plot of land.
Your early response is solicited.
Yours Sincerely,
Sanjib Das.
