Misuse of judgements

I would like to present one such of misuse of judgement has been registered in a registrar office (land/property registration).  Two people fiked a (OS)case against each other in the name of dispute in a certain property withholding information to their convenience.  We being a right holder asked to include us on the case which is not allowed, instead the parties sought advance hearing and requested to end the dispute mutually. 

The judge for whatsoever reason, gave them the favourable judgement. Our IA was simply rejected. We filed a fresh suit. When this process was going on, the two people went to register the properties in their names with only the judgement copy in hand.  Clearly the two people colluded to mock our justice system and faked dispute to get a favourable judgememt. 

Now on the facts of the case: A certain ancesttal property belonging to Mr. S (ancestral to him) has a son (sg)and a daughter(y) . Daughter did in 1950, but survived by a son.  The property was partitioned in 1957  equally by father and son without any consideration to the daughter.  The y's son(K) is the sole survivor who is made legal heir to y's mother's property along with sg. But the share which was kept by Mr. S for K is somehow willed in favor of Sg' two daughters. (Somehow, will not probated,). So the entire property taken over by sg and his family.  However to overlook k's right,  the daughters of Sg on his passing away file a case disputing each other and get a judgement to share the property equally among themselves.  Who all collided in this  process is open and shut. 

A clear mockery of the loophole in our justice system.  Ain't it? 

Why was legal heir certificate not asked by the judge who gave the judgement?  why the registrar office did not seek any other valid documents? Is the judgement copy enough for registration?  They also say that it is not an ancetral property? How does that sound?   What will happen if two or more people collide to get such judgements and get the rights to the property? An eye opener for all the property owners and our justice system.

Everything to circumvent in law is possible. Unless those acts/judgments are challenged and set aside, they continue to prevail.  When you have already filed a suit, let your advocate present your case and get an injunction against all concerned and present your case pointing out all fraudulent transactions if any.  Whatever we assume may not be legally proper and any judgment has to be set aside only by filing a declaration suit.
