In the year 1999, we received a draft in exchange for the roof rights of our dwelling house. We signed the agreement but did not use the draft and returned it to the person, from whom we received a money receipt in return. However, the original agreement paper is still with that person. Later, we handed over our dwelling house to a builder in September 2019. In 2020, that person filed a title suit before the Learned 2nd Civil Judge (Junior Division), Alipore, against my mother, brother, and me, along with the builder, claiming 50% of the ground floor with a 2 BHK flat, based on the roof rights mentioned in the old agreement paper.
You should present the money receipt in court to prove the 1999 agreement was cancelled. File an affidavit explaining the draft was returned. Defend the title suit by stating no valid transaction occurred. If needed, file a separate suit to cancel the old agreement. Also, argue that the claim is time-barred and based on a void agreement.
