I purchased one acre of agricultural dry land a year ago registered it in my name. Recently, a broker sent me a lawyer's notice saying that he had paid Rs 1 lakh advance for purchasing the same land and made an agreement for purchase which he says has been registered in the registrar's office. Upon investigation I found that the validity period of the agreement was three months and the seller had sold the land to me after the expiry of this period. The seller is dead. His parents, who as the parties signed the sale deed in favour of me, showed me the documentary evidence for returning the advance amount to the broker through a demand draft. The broker says my registered sale deed is not a valid one and wants me to give the land to him. Please advise.

Firstly, in order to protect the possession, you should initiate proceedings against any threatened action and make the necessary application for injunction from any interference from the broker. If the sale deed has been executed after the agreement was terminated and there was no valid contract existing prior to the sale deed being executed in your favour, you need not be worried.
