Under Indian law, a father is generally not permitted to favor one son over another when dividing his property. The law requires equal distribution among legal heirs, including sons, unless a valid will specifies otherwise.

I live in Korkor village, Cuttack district, a small rural area where many people use government land for everyday needs, like parking or walking.

Others use government land too, but only I’m being targeted. I’m worried about this and need help. I don’t have any political connections. What can I do to resolve this situation?
