Fruad banakhat

My brother had received a civil suit notice yesterday based on Fruad banakhat of land sale by frudster.

The banakhat was never executed ever in past. The suit says that he has taken token money and not doing Dastavej hence the frudster had filed a bogus suit.

The suit may be filed by Bhu-mafia as per our assumption as we did not know him.

1.What are the remedies to defend the civil suite?

2.A police complaint can be filed separately for fruad banakhat against frudster as he had never deed A banakhat? Will it help in the civil suit?

3.What are the important points to A. defend the suit and 2. to file a police complaint?

First of all appear before court either in person or through a lawyer, file vakalatnama, receive the case papers and file your written statement after which you can decide further course of legal action to defend your interests.

The suggestion from the legal and procedural aspect could only be appear before the court through an advocate and bring the alleged fraud to the Court's notice and seek appropriate reliefs.

However, it is your personal choice to attempt to settle the issue through the plaintiff's advocate.

You can pursue the case through the trial court by appearing during the first appearance through your lawyer and decide about the next course of action to challenge the case if it is still going on
