Dear Sir, I own a 60 square meter builder floor on the second floor in Rohini Sector 24, with roof rights. I’d like to know if I can build a third floor on my property since it’s freehold and I have roof rights. If yes, what’s the procedure? Do I need permission from the other floor owners in the same building, considering most buildings in the area are already three floors high?

Under Indian law, you may be able to build a third floor, but you’ll need to obtain necessary permissions from the Municipal Corporation of Delhi. This involves submitting plans for approval and complying with building regulations. You may also need the consent of other floor owners if your building’s bylaws require it.

My family and I inherited our mother’s house after she passed away. We are 7 siblings living across India and abroad, and one brother stays in the house. We’d like to transfer our ownership rights to someone outside the family. Is this legally possible? Do we need our brother’s consent? What’s the best way to proceed?

My house is under construction, and I’m building the first floor. Some MCD officials came and asked for a bribe, which I refused. They didn’t say anything then, but after my house was complete, they came back and demolished the roof without warning. Is there a law that requires them to give me notice before destroying my property? If this was illegal, what legal options do I have to fight back?

My grandfather, born in the 1920s, divided his property among his sons in 1965. He received a house and land, which he later sold before 1985. He had two sons and two daughters, all married by 1983. My father, his second son, cared for him and my grandmother from 1985 until his passing in 2000. In 2002, my grandfather, then 80 years old, signed a deed giving his deceased son’s children, aged 25 and 30, the right to care for him and my grandmother. My grandfather passed away in 2010. In 2011, my grandfather’s other son and two daughters filed a suit to divide the remaining property, including the house. My aunts took my grandmother with them, claiming a share of the house for themselves. They argue for an equal share. Is the 2002 deed my grandfather signed valid?

Three years ago, my neighbor, a farmer, planted 100 eucalyptus trees close to the shared boundary of our fields. Now, these trees have grown tall, blocking sunlight and affecting my crops by hindering their growth and water absorption. This has resulted in a loss of nearly two acres of crops. Despite my protests, my neighbor refuses to cut the trees, claiming they are on his land. However, a recent land survey confirmed that five feet of the trees are actually on my property. My neighbor is willing to cede this five-foot strip but insists on cutting the trees. I’m not willing to let him cut them as they are now on my land, making me the rightful owner. So, who legally owns these trees? Who has the right to cut them? And if the trees were planted within ten feet of the boundary, does my neighbor have any right to claim ownership or share in the trees according to the law?

My grandfather, who sadly passed away in January 2010, had six daughters and one son. Following his passing, my mother also passed away in September of that year. We are her two sons and one daughter. My father passed away in April 2014. I’m curious if we, his three grandchildren, are legally entitled to inherit any shares he held in ITC?
