Suit for Cancellation of Sale Deeds Civil Case

KLB Law Firm successfully handled a civil suit titled “Suit for Cancellation of Sale Deeds” for client Chakrapani, securing a resolution aligned with statutory remedies available for void or voidable instruments under Indian law, including reliefs consistent with Section 31 of the Specific Relief Act and civil court adjudication procedures.

Overview & Challenges

The matter involved challenging registered sale deeds on grounds recognized in Indian jurisprudence such as fraud, misrepresentation, and lack of title, requiring a focused evidentiary strategy.

• Establishing legally cognizable grounds for cancellation (fraud, misrepresentation, mistake, or lack of title) with documentary proof and witness testimony.
• Navigating limitation issues where the accrual can run from the date of knowledge rather than execution, countering objections under Order 7 Rule 11 CPC.
• Framing the suit for cancellation in civil court with precise pleadings under Specific Relief and CPC, and addressing registration implications.
• Responding to defenses invoking bona fide purchase claims and contesting ownership/title chains under Transfer of Property principles highlighted by precedent.
• Coordinating parallel procedural steps (notice, evidence submission, rebuttals) to meet the burden of proof for annulment of registered instruments.
