My brother is claiming a share in my Bangalore property, falsely stating it was bought with joint family funds. He’s openly admitted outside court that his intention is to harass me. Can I file a counter-case against him for making false claims? Or do I just have to defend myself? Also, can I find a lawyer who will take my case and accept payment only after it’s dismissed?

You can file a counterclaim against your brother for malicious prosecution and making false claims. You can also seek damages for the harassment caused. Finding a lawyer willing to accept payment only after the case is dismissed is unlikely, but you can negotiate payment plans or contingency fee agreements.

My grandfather, a police officer, owned ancestral farmland in Karnataka. He had two children – my deceased mother and my uncle. My mother was born after 1956 and passed away in 2000, before the 2005 Hindu Succession Act. Some legal sources suggest I’m not entitled to his property. However, another legal provision, Section 6 (3) of the 2005 amendment, states that since my grandfather died after the 2005 Act, I could be eligible as a coparcener. Could you clarify my inheritance rights in this situation?

Living in Pune, we bought a flat from a well-known builder in a 140-apartment condominium. The builder individually sold parking spaces along with the flats. Now, the condominium committee wants to rent out 16 vacant parking spaces. Since the land doesn’t belong to the committee, can they legally rent these spaces? I’m concerned as I don’t have easy access to my second car’s parking spot. The committee rejected my idea of creating an emergency parking space beside my spot. Can I legally stop them from renting these spaces, or at least ensure a parking spot near mine is allocated?
