My family and my uncle share an old property that was divided. We both have a floor built, but need to add more. The problem is the shared staircase. My uncle is against us using it to build our floors. Is there a legal way we can use the shared staircase?

Under Indian law, if the staircase is a shared common area, you likely have a legal right to use it for construction purposes. However, you should consult with a lawyer to determine the specific terms of the property division and your rights based on the situation. A legal professional can advise you on the best course of action and help resolve the dispute amicably.
