Fictitious legal notice to create litigation without any truth
Question
Legal Experts: I got a legal notice (cooked up) from a lawyer on behalf of his client (whom i do not know nor met him till date) stating that i have executed a Non Possessory agreement of sale 18 months back for an agriculture land (belongs to my joint family property and no legal document exist other than agriculture passbook on my name) stating that i proposed to sell and they paid an advance of 90% amount (stating that in presence of elders) that time and i was avoiding to register though his client is willing to register by paying balance 10% amount. He also states if the amount is not paid, 24% p. a. payable as interest till registration of sale deed. Now he sent this notice stating his client is ready to pay balance 10% to execute the suit otherwise he is going to file suit for a decree. Pl note that all above are incorrect and i never entered any agreement nor received any money nor went to that town to sell any property. Pl also note this is as reaction to other petition i filed as Partition suit for rightful share on our joint family ancestral properties and i assume this is revenge to create litigation through one of the defendant binami party (through above client). Please guide me what should be my response to that notice and is this valid in courts of law for such fraudulent or dummy/artificial notice without any basis or facts.

File a criminal case against the lawyer and the person on behalf of whom the Legal notice has been sent to you as this seems to be a case to usurp your property. do not respond to the legal notice and if any case is filed by him on fake documents which bear your fake signatures as claimed by you then hire a handwriting expert and get the report analysing the signatures on the documents alleged to have been executed. If he has paid 90% amount, proof of the same is also required by him to be shown that you have received this amount. Mere averment of the same is not a valid proof.
