In the first place, please explain what do you mean by "document is in the name of her business" Do you mean to say that Soniya, sole proprietress carries the business in the name of Rahul Enterprises and the agreement to sale is in the name of Rahul Enterprises????
This is an ab initio mistake. Sole Proprietary Business CAN NOT hold property in its name.
A COMPANY may hold the property but not the sole proprietary business.
