I’m planning to sell my 2-acre ancestral land in Bangalore. My family members, including two young cousins aged 8 and 10, are all ready to participate in the sale. I want to make sure the sale is legally sound and that the children’s rights are protected, so they won’t have any issues claiming the property in the future. Could you advise me on the best way to involve them in the process?

Under Indian law, minors cannot directly sell property. To ensure a legally sound sale and protect the children’s rights, you should appoint a guardian for them, typically a parent or close relative. This guardian will act on their behalf in the sale transaction, ensuring their interests are protected.

My family lives in Casario Lodha, Dombivali, and we installed a grill on our open balcony for our child’s safety. However, Lodha Builders sent a notice asking us to remove it, citing FSI violation and KDMC rules. They suggested a shutter door instead, which we feel is unsafe for our child. What should we do?

My sister-in-law is being harassed by my cousin and his wife. They previously filed false complaints against her mother-in-law and other family members, alleging dowry harassment and even murder. The police investigated and found these claims to be baseless. Now, they are targeting me, falsely accusing me of assault and threatening me with goons. I was at the police station all morning to report their harassment, and the police found their claims false. Can I obtain a court order preventing my arrest based on future false complaints from my cousin and his wife? They want me out of the house, which is jointly owned by us three cousins, and the other two live abroad.

Living in a society, we all have a right to peace and quiet. I’m wondering if it’s legal for someone to turn their residential house into a godown in our society, especially if it causes disruption for other families. Are there any government rules against this? If it’s against the law, I’m prepared to file an RTI and pursue further action to stop this harassment.

My grandfather, who passed away years ago, owned some agricultural land in a Tripura village. He left this land to his two sons – my father and my uncle. The land was never divided between them. Recently, my uncle sold half the property to someone else, but the price he got was much higher than the remaining land’s value. Now, my father has gotten his name removed from the records of the remaining land, leaving him as the sole owner. I’m worried about getting a fair share of the land, considering the value difference. My uncle already sold part of his share to another person. Is there still a chance for me to get my share of the land, or is it too late?

My son lives separately, but my daughter-in-law refuses to join him. She’s been causing us mental and physical distress, demanding money and property. She even physically assaulted my wife in 2014, resulting in a fracture, leading to a police case filed against her. Due to the threats, my wife and I have been living separately in rented accommodation since 2014. She’s taken over the entire flat, which I bought in Faridabad (Haryana) in 2008. I hold a special power of attorney for the flat issued in Jalandhar, Punjab. Can I file an eviction case against my daughter-in-law using this power of attorney, or do I need to register the flat in my name first?

It’s been a year and a half, and differences of opinion, ego clashes, and distress from his wife have led him to consider divorce. They have no children.
