20 years before the vendee was not required to sign on the sale deed; it was only the vendor who was required to execute. therefore, the agreement should be valid without taking any further steps by or before the Registrar.

Dear Sir,

Accord to law of Indian time limitation act 1963, three years time period limitation will be there for an agreement of sale to proceed, if no such agreement of sale deed is actually get register at subsequent sub-registered office within that time stipulation, then fresh sale deed can be produced accord to contract agreement of sale, otherwise, naturally said sale agreement ends upon non-performance of contract agreement of sale.

"And accord to Section 5 of the Transfere of Property Act 1882 lays down, that only a living person should convey property to another living person or body corporate or association of person etc".

Thank You,
