My family faces a property dispute stemming from my late grandfather’s decision to create a joint family property for his 8 sons. While some brothers now possess significantly larger portions than their rightful share, they refuse to fairly divide the property. Adding to our difficulties, they managed our grandfather’s movable assets but are unwilling to disclose details, leaving my father and his small HUF house at a disadvantage while others live in large bungalows.

Under Indian law, a joint family property can be divided among members according to their rightful shares, which can be determined based on the nature of the property and the family’s internal arrangements. Since your brothers are refusing a fair division and withholding information about movable assets, seeking legal advice from a lawyer specializing in family property matters is crucial to protect your father’s rights.

My father, before passing away, bought a property in my and my brother’s names. Now, my mother and sister are seeking a share in it. The sale deed, index 2, and 7/12 extract are only in my and my brother’s names. Since my father paid for the property, will my sister and mother get a share? Or will it be divided only between me and my brother as it was in our names from the beginning? My father didn’t leave a will, he simply bought it in our names. Can you explain what will happen in this situation?

Ramu obtained registered power of attorney (GPA) for revenue land from eight farmers on June 14, 1995. He later sold this land to Shyam with a registered sale deed. Shyam then appointed Ramu as his GPA holder through a notary-executed GPA on September 4, 2008. Can Ramu divide this land into plots and sell them individually? Is it legal to buy individual plots from Ramu who holds the GPA? Can Ramu pay stamp duty for an individual plot (not the entire land) as the latest GPA holder (notary) or the previous registered GPA holder before selling it? If so, is it legal to purchase this plot from Ramu?

Previous Article My parents are both from Kerala, and they have a house there. After my father passed away two years ago, my mother legally transferred the house to me. We all live together in West Bengal. The deed was written in Malayalam, which I don’t understand, so I relied on my cousin in Kerala to handle everything. I recently declared this property to my government office, as required by their rules. However, they are questioning the 10 lakh rupees mentioned in the deed, which was supposed to be the purchase price. The truth is, no money was exchanged – it was just a way to document the transfer. I’m worried because I honestly followed the rules and declared my property, while others may not have done so. I’m not sure how to explain this situation to my office. How can I clear myself from this misunderstanding?
Next Article I entrusted a shopkeeper with a loan of ₹9 lakhs, securing it with a blank cheque from myself. When the loan period ended, he threatened to fill the cheque with a large amount, bounce it, and file a false case against me. We reported this to the Economic Offences Wing (EOW), and the complaint is still pending. Now, he’s filled the cheque for ₹45 lakhs, which bounced due to my stop payment request. What can I do to protect myself from any further legal repercussions?
