My family owns land in Uttarakhand, but the original owner lives in Gurgaon. We were ready to register the property but the office was closed. Since the owner couldn’t travel to Uttarakhand, we went to Gurgaon and got notarized documents from her, including a Power of Attorney. Now the registry is open, but our lawyer in Uttarakhand says these notarized papers aren’t enough. Is he right?

Your lawyer is likely correct. While a notarized Power of Attorney can be used in some circumstances, Indian law requires specific procedures for land transfer in Uttarakhand. You’ll need to follow the state’s registration process and ensure the original owner’s signature is verified by authorized officials, not just a notary.

My family has been farming our 40-acre land in Mirzapur, Uttar Pradesh for the past 15 years. This year, the forest ranger is stopping us from cultivating, claiming it’s forest land. The problem is, around 250 acres in this area are disputed between farmers and the forest department. Our village records show a joint agreement for farmers to use this land. However, the forest department uses an older map and insists our farmland is entirely forest land, making farming impossible. What legal options do we have to get a stay order or use land authority to keep farming until the dispute is settled? How long would it take to get a stay so we can plant crops this season?

However, while dividing the property, the doctor and inspector didn’t include their personal assets. They only divided my father’s and grandfather’s property. We lack documents for any of the property, including my father’s share, as all documents are with the inspector. They only provided us with a photocopy of the division agreement. How can I approach a court to prove that my father was cheated during the property division?
