My family owns ancestral land, and I need to prove four generations were undivided for my legal case. The available land records (Jamabandi) only show two generations, starting from 1912. I’m looking for records before 1911 but the district office doesn’t have them. How can I get these older Jamabandi documents to strengthen my claim?

You can explore options like the National Archives of India, state archives, or the revenue department’s historical records section. You could also look for family documents, wills, or revenue court records from the relevant period to corroborate your claim.

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.
