I bought a plot in 1998 but haven’t registered it yet. I’ve built a house on part of it, but another part is still empty. The plot is included in the gram panchayat records, I have a house number, and I pay taxes, water bills, and electricity bills. I have all the original documents from the previous owner and a sale agreement on stamp paper from 1998. I also have an ownership certificate from the gram panchayat. How can I register the plot and get a bank loan? Could the previous owner have any legal claims? If they filed a case, would it be valid?

You can register the plot by applying to the Sub-Registrar’s office with the necessary documents. While the previous owner’s legal claims would be limited given the sale agreement, a court case could be filed. However, your possession, construction, and payments would be strong evidence in your favor.

My grandfather, who passed away years ago, divided his ancestral property in Alibaug, Raigad, amongst his three brothers. They each paid the necessary fees and registered their ownership in 1962. Now, after almost 55 years, my father is questioning the fairness of this division, alleging that his uncles might have cheated him out of his rightful share. Is there a time limit for challenging such a property distribution, and if so, what is it?

Respected Sir/Madam, I’m about to buy a flat in a cooperative housing society in East Delhi. The seller is requesting 2-3 months to vacate, after the full payment and registration, as he’s bought another property (which I’ve seen is still under construction). I’ve also sold my own house and am currently renting. The flat registration is scheduled for the next 7-10 days. Should I draft a Memorandum of Understanding for this 3-month period for my own safety? I’m also taking a loan for this freehold flat. Kindly advise. Thank you and regards, Nitin

Babaji Chavan passed away in March 1998. His property was transferred to his brother in December 1998 based on a nomination. Later, his wife inherited the property in 2004 after the brother’s death. In February 2007, the property was sold to a third party with stamp duty paid. However, a dispute arose in April 2007, and a lawsuit was filed in March 2011 by Babaji’s legal heirs. The third party was added to the lawsuit in May 2010. Could Babaji’s legal heirs receive relief from the court? What are the options available to the third party in this situation?

My brothers are taking the rent from our family house but aren’t helping with the home loan. They’re also refusing to share any money with me and my mother, the owner. I’m the one who’s mostly paid the loan, and I’ve tried talking to them, but they’re saying they have financial problems. I need legal advice on how to resolve this situation.

The hotel manager claims I asked for it and even bribed him, but he only has a verbal statement. There’s no written or electronic evidence of any such interaction. Since he’s lying, is there a chance I could be accused or face legal action? My ex is also blaming me now, which makes things worse.
