My family is Hindu. I’m the elder brother, and I registered a settlement deed with my younger brother for my land. The agreement was that he would get the right to the first floor after repaying my loan, and meanwhile, I allowed him to build his house there. Later, he started disrespecting me and my wife. I live in Hari Nabi, Shuru 24 Pabana, and registered the deed at ADSR Sonarpur. My father pressured me to sign some papers, claiming they were consent letters. He threatened me, saying he would tell my boss I wasn’t taking care of my parents and that my son would suffer. Scared, I signed. Now, I’m worried these papers could be a Power of Attorney (POA), giving him power to change the terms of the registered settlement deed. Can he do this at the Registrar of Assurance in Kolkata, even though I got an encumbrance certificate from ADSR Sonarpur that’s clear until 2014? I need legal advice.

Based on the information provided, your father’s actions and the signed documents are concerning. While your brother may have registered the settlement deed at the ADSR Sonarpur, any attempt to change its terms through a Power of Attorney (POA) would be subject to legal scrutiny. You should consult a lawyer to assess the validity of the signed papers and explore options to challenge any unlawful changes to the registered deed.

Our housing society, in a past AGM/SGM, allocated open parking spaces. These were then sold along with flats to new buyers. However, 25% of the remaining flat owners, including myself with a 2BHK, are now without parking. Despite writing to the society after becoming a member, I’ve been denied parking for over two years. The stilt area, marked for parking on the BMC floor plan, is mostly unused except for 8 days a year for Jain temple activities. Even after the Dy. Registrar ordered an SGM to allocate stilt parking, the society is refusing to comply. An advocate suggests a lengthy court case, which could take 4-5 years. What are my options? The committee is adamant that I should have bought a flat with parking and are not following by-laws. I’m desperate for a solution.
