I bought a house in 2014 from a seller, paid the full price, registered it in my name, and even cleared all the municipal taxes. I took a bank loan to finance the purchase and have been diligently paying the monthly installments. Despite all this, I’m still living in a rented house because the previous owner, who turns out to have a criminal past, now wants more money for the property. What can I do? Please advise.

You have a legally registered ownership of the house and have fulfilled all financial obligations. The previous owner’s criminal past or demands for further payment are irrelevant. You should consult a lawyer to file a legal suit against the previous owner to stop any further harassment and establish your clear title to the property.

I’ve been trying to obtain the land records (ROR) for my agricultural land in [village name] from the Tahsildar’s office since 1963.

My father passed away 20 years ago. He had 3 brothers, all well-settled. My mother, with great difficulty, raised my sister and me. However, our property was in my grandfather’s name (who passed away 6 months ago). He didn’t consider our well-being and left the property to his three sons. My share was wrongly written in the name of one of my uncles’ sons. The condition is my mother can live there but cannot sell the property. Two of my uncles are supportive, but the uncle whose son inherited my share is not willing to share. My mother deserves her share as she was also part of the family. What can we do in this situation?
