Fraudulent Sale of Property in Pakistan Including the Capital

What is a Fraudulent Sale?

A fraudulent sale occurs when a property is sold by someone who does not have the legal right or authority to sell it. This is usually done by creating fake ownership documents, hiding legal disputes, or selling the same property to multiple buyers.

Common Forms of Fraudulent Sales

• Forged property documents

• Selling property without the owner’s consent

• Selling property under fake power of attorney

• Multiple sales of the same property to different buyers

Legal Remedies for Fraudulent Sale

1. FIR for Criminal Fraud
   The buyer or the rightful owner can lodge an FIR against the fraudster under relevant sections of the Pakistan Penal Code.

2. Civil Suit for Cancellation of Sale Deed
   A civil suit can be filed to cancel the fraudulent transaction and restore the original ownership.

3. Permanent Injunction
   The court can issue an injunction to prevent further transfer or possession of the disputed property.

4. Claim for Damages
   The affected party can also claim compensation for financial losses due to the fraudulent act.

How to Protect Yourself from Fraudulent Property Deals

• Verify property documents from relevant authorities before purchase

• Conduct a thorough title search to confirm ownership

• Ensure the power of attorney, if any, is valid and attested

• Engage a qualified lawyer for drafting and verifying agreements
