I bought a 1200 sq ft plot in December 2014. All legal paperwork is in my possession. Now, the seller wants his plot back and is threatening a legal case from his wife. The plot was only in his name before the sale. Can his wife legally claim the plot? I’m starting construction soon, so I need advice on how to proceed. Should I worry about future legal trouble from his wife?

Under Indian law, a wife can claim a share in her husband’s property if she can prove marital property rights. However, since the plot was legally transferred to you in 2014, his wife’s claim is unlikely to succeed. You should consult a lawyer to review your documents and confirm your ownership rights. They can advise on safeguarding your investment and potentially taking legal action against any future claims.
