Quick Summary

A homeowner's husband has sold the same plot of land to two different people, receiving advance payments from both. Registration has not yet occurred. One buyer claims priority due to an earlier agreement. The homeowner is seeking advice on whether to cancel both agreements and return the money, or proceed with the first buyer. While not a legal expert, the advice suggests the husband has committed fraud and recommends attempting an amicable settlement with both parties, potentially prioritising the first buyer. It's also suggested that unregistered agreements might be invalid, and refunding the money could be an option, with a strong recommendation to consult a lawyer.

Hello,

Your husband has committed fraud on both the parties. You can discuss the issue with both the parties and try to amicably settle the issue. It is correct to say that first buyer should get the plot as he has entered into agreement first.

I am not a legal expert. I think both agreements are invalid as both agreements are unregistered. No need to give your property to both. Just refund their money. Consult a lawyer for protection.
