My father bought a part of a land plot in our village about 15 years ago. Now, we’re building a home there as we don’t have a proper house. The issue is, Dad couldn’t buy the entire plot back then due to financial constraints. Now, the previous owner is pressuring him to buy the remaining land, including some nearby government land he claims as his own. He’s threatening to cause trouble if we don’t comply. He’s already filed two cases through his contacts and is threatening more if we don’t buy the entire plot. We’re stuck between completing our home and fulfilling his demands. We don’t have enough money to do both, and fear having to deal with ongoing legal battles. We need advice on how to navigate this difficult situation.

You need to consult a lawyer immediately. The previous owner’s claim to the government land is likely invalid. His threats and filing false cases are illegal and you can seek legal redress. A lawyer can advise on your rights and best course of action to protect your property and complete your home construction.

My grandfather built his own home and property. He has four daughters and a son, my father, who unfortunately passed away. I am his only grandson.

My grandfather, who was born before India’s independence, passed away in 2001. He had five children – three daughters and two sons. All his children passed away before 2002, leaving behind their families. He gifted his property to both his sons. His eldest son, who had two sons, also passed away. The other son died without any children. My grandfather’s daughters have their own families, but unfortunately, their brothers and their sons have also passed away. I am the grandson of my grandfather’s eldest son. Considering the situation and the fact that all individuals passed away before the 2005 amendment, would my cousins and I have any claim on the property? Is the 2005 amendment applicable retrospectively? I’m not a legal expert, so I need clear guidance. Any advice or suggestions would be truly appreciated as I am struggling financially and seeking a favorable outcome.
