What steps can be taken if any to ensure that another piece of land is given, if the developer seme piece to two parties?

Question asked by Ms. Aradhana from Bangalore:

Hello, I am looking for some advice on the following:
My friend bought some land from a developer and only has khatha for it (no registration). Meanwhile, the developer sold the land to another party who has completed khatha as well as registration. While the developer initially offered another piece of land, he does not seem to be forthcoming with his offer anymore. What steps can be taken if any to ensure that another piece of land is given or at least the money is returned?
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks!

If receipts are available, a simple money suit can be filed demanding the return of monies paid with interest. If a valid agreement of sale is available (and it has not become time barred due to limitation) and if it can be proved that the registered owner had purchased the land after being aware of the prior agreement, then you can sue in a court of law. Otherwise you cannot get another site, but can get the money back with interest. Vatsala - http://www.atoneplace.com
