Yes, siblings can jointly buy a house in India. They can register the property in both their names as joint owners, either as tenants-in-common or joint tenants. The specific ownership structure will depend on their agreement and how they want to divide the property in the future.

My father is the eldest of six brothers, and we inherited farmland from our grandfather. He moved to Pune for work and bought a small plot where we built a three-story house with a loan I took. The house is registered in my father’s name. After a decade, we built a house in our village, and since then, my uncles have refused to share the farmland with my father. They claim he doesn’t need it because I have a good job and earn well. They also demand a share of our house in Pune. We are feeling threatened by their actions. We are a Hindu-Maratha family. What legal options do we have?

My family bought an apartment in Kochi back in 2003 from a builder based in Bangalore. The flat was never handed over, and despite years of waiting, we’re still facing this issue. Last year, I had a serious accident in the UAE and lost my job, adding to our hardship. After much pleading, the builder agreed to take the apartment back and promised a refund. However, out of the ₹33 lakhs we paid, they’ve only returned ₹14 lakhs, even after many follow-ups. Three cheques totaling ₹16 lakhs are overdue, and we feel the company is deliberately delaying the payment. They’re aware of our financial struggles and the mounting debts we need to clear. What legal action can we take to ensure the full refund?

My family bought a plot in a society back in 1992 and got it registered. But recently, the society told us that the plot we were given isn’t actually theirs and they’ve now given us a different one within the same survey area. The problem is, the new plot has different boundaries than the one registered in our sale deed. What can I do to fix this discrepancy in the legal documents?

Previous Article My grandfather passed away in 1983, leaving behind some land as ancestral property. He had four sons and three daughters. All his sons together sold a part of the land in 1986 without giving any share to their sisters. The grandfather’s daughters filed a case in 1989 and received an equal share as their brothers. The sons then appealed to the district court, presenting their documents. The appellate court ruled in 2009 that the daughters were entitled to a 1/40 share (1/8 of their father’s 1/5 share). The daughters have now filed a second appeal in the Madras High Court. What is the actual share the daughters are entitled to? Can they claim a share in the already sold land?
