Re: civil
You may try your luck by filing civil suit(s) seeking cancellation of sale deed(s).
The limitation Act may be applicable; but you may make a plea of lack of knowledge of the true facts; and that the limitation period should start from the date of knowledge. You may need to clearly understand and establish your source of ‘belated’ knowledge of facts.
