Reading: My family, including my wife and me, lives in our ancestral home, which was inherited from my grandfather. My parents had initially planned to move us out, but due to the property’s legal ownership, they couldn’t. Even the police confirmed that they couldn’t force us to leave. Now, a builder is constructing a new floor on the property. He’s proposing that the new floor, which is supposed to be our share, be registered in my father’s name instead of mine. If this happens, will my father have the legal right to evict us from the house?

As per Indian law, registering the new floor in your father’s name, even if it is meant to be your share, could potentially give him legal rights to evict you. You should seek legal advice and ensure proper documentation to safeguard your ownership rights and prevent future disputes.
