Yes, your sisters have a legal right to claim their share of the inherited land. Under the Indian Succession Act, a deceased person’s property is distributed among their legal heirs, including daughters. They can file for partition to legally divide the property.

In a village in India, two young siblings, a brother and a sister, are missing from the land records. The eldest son’s name was recorded as a minor with his mother as guardian in 1920, but the names of the two youngest children were overlooked. This error has persisted for generations, with only one name appearing on the official documents. How can the records be updated to include the missing names? Additionally, there are two other tasks that need to be addressed. First, retrieving court documents submitted as evidence in a Pune district court, and second, claiming a fire extinguisher.

Previous Article I gave a company five blank cheques at the start of a deal, specifying they were for safekeeping only. However, they delivered sub-par materials and way more than I ordered. I paid them the agreed amount via online transfer, after discussing it with the manager at the time. The company later dismissed the manager and deposited my blank cheques after filling in an amount. My proof is the chequebook, which shows the details of the blank cheques issued to the company, and the email I sent to them.
Next Article I worked for a promising startup in Bangalore for three months. Then, out of the blue, they asked me to resign, practically forcing me to leave. They promised to clear my dues within 45 days after my October 2015 resignation, but it’s almost December and I haven’t seen a penny. They keep saying they’re facing financial difficulties, but haven’t followed through on their commitments. Is there anything I can do to get my money back?
