My father passed away in 2001 leaving his property to my mother. Sadly, she passed away in 2015. After that, my brother, sister, and I signed legal documents transferring ownership of two properties to me and one property to my brother. However, my other sister has filed a lawsuit claiming she should get 50% of all the properties. She’s citing a court case in Andhra Pradesh that says release deeds should benefit all heirs. My brother has agreed to give her half his share in one property. What are my rights in the other two properties? Has there been a court decision where a release deed was ignored?

Based on the information provided, you likely hold full ownership of the two properties transferred to you. The Andhra Pradesh case cited by your sister is not binding in this instance as your mother’s will, the transfer agreement, and your sister’s prior consent to the division constitute valid legal documentation. However, seeking legal advice from a lawyer familiar with property laws in your jurisdiction is recommended to ensure your rights are fully protected.

My wife and I were married in 2002. I live with her and our son in Sira town, Karnataka. In 2004, a woman filed a maintenance case claiming she married me that year and had a child in 2005. The Magistrate Court ordered me to pay Rs. 2,000 to the mother and Rs. 2,000 to the child. I appealed this order to the District Court, which found no proof of marriage based on a previous case filed by the woman in 2011. The District Court set aside the Magistrate Court’s order and asked them to re-examine the case, including paternity of the child. Now, the Magistrate Court is ordering me to undergo a DNA test to prove paternity. The woman earns Rs. 15,000 from her salary. What are my legal options in this situation?

My husband was ordered to file his income tax return and bank statements in March 2013 during our maintenance case. He didn’t submit them, and my lawyer didn’t pursue any action. The final decree was passed in September 2013. Can anything be done about the original order now?

My family in Delhi consists of my mother, father, elder sister, and myself. We live in a house jointly owned by my parents. My father takes out loans, which my mother and now my unmarried sister (33) are repaying. My father’s behaviour is causing us immense distress, and he threatens suicide if we don’t give him money or sell the property. We’re worried he might destroy any funds we receive from a sale. Could you advise on how we can separate from my father and claim our rightful share of the property?

My mother owned our house, and I had power of attorney. Sadly, she passed away in 2015. How do I go about transferring the property to my name now?

My wife left home and stayed with her mother for six months. After asking her to return, she refused. We tried to resolve the situation amicably, but she filed a case against me, my mother, and my sisters accusing us of dowry harassment (498A), cruelty (498A), and criminal intimidation (506). The police suggested a compromise, but my wife refused. Now, they’ve filed an FIR. Should my entire family apply for anticipatory bail or individual bail? A lawyer quoted 25,000 rupees for bail for all five of us. Additionally, I’m worried about the outcome of the case. I received two lakhs as dowry, including one lakh worth of gold jewelry for my wife, and have the receipt.
