Can a grandson, elder brother, and elder sister sell a significant part of their ancestral joint family property without formally dividing the property and without the consent of other family members? They falsely claim in the sale documents that they received this portion through a partition. If the police are not taking any action, would the mutation receipts obtained by the buyers be considered legal documents?

In India, selling ancestral property without formal division and consent of all legal heirs is illegal. Falsely claiming partition in sale documents is fraud. Mutation receipts obtained by buyers based on fraudulent transactions are not legal documents and do not confer ownership.
