Your brother’s wife is the rightful heir to her parents’ property as their sole legal heir. She can file a legal suit against her uncle and aunt for wrongful possession and seek an injunction to stop them from interfering with her ownership. She should consult with a lawyer to understand her specific legal options and proceed accordingly.

My father gifted me our ancestral home in India. My uncle, who owned the property next door, sold it to a neighbour 25 years ago. We’ve always shared a common wall peacefully. Now, after I started renovating my house, the new owner claims his property is 2 feet smaller than what’s on paper. He refused to show me his documents and threatened legal action. I had to build my wall 3/4 foot away from the shared boundary. We even made a formal agreement on stamp paper. But now he’s denying the agreement and says I can’t build a wall at all. What legal options do I have to protect my property rights?

Previous Article Dear Sir, I bought a flat from a builder in 2010 for ₹30 lakhs, with a promised possession in 2 years. They delayed the construction, and in 2015, they increased the flat’s price by ₹10 lakhs, making it ₹40 lakhs. Since I couldn’t afford this, I decided to sell it and arranged for the funds. I signed a notarized sale agreement, collected the money, and paid the builder. Can I file a complaint against the builder in a consumer forum considering these circumstances?
