Legal Question in Criminal Law in India

I have purchased a land of about 16.5 decimal in subarb of kolkata city in the year 2008. Registered the land at the office of sub-register.A certified deed was produced at the time of deed registration.Land owner declared lost of his original deed and no mutation in his name.The mutation was with the previous owner.

However,in 2013 I have came to know that I have been cheated by the landowner who has sold me. He has taken a cash credit loan from a bank in the year 2003 by keeping only Original Deed. Now same land mutation completed in my name. To avoid any hassles I would like to transfer to Minors name.What will be next consequences?

The sale of the land is defunct if the original title deed of the land is pledged with the bank as security for any facilities. The owner is not permitted to sell the land without first clearing all the bank's dues. You should insist that the owner produce a clearance letter from the bank, else ask the owner to refund all your monies as the transaction itself is bogus.

Regards,
