My father ran a hotel in West Bengal with a lounge. A couple of years ago, there were issues with the police claiming it was in a special economic zone (SEZ). They threatened to take action but never did. My father continued operating the business until he passed away last December in a road accident. Now, a government employee is demanding money for the SEZ case, threatening to seize the property again. Is it possible for him to take action after this long time, especially with my father no longer around? What should I do to resolve this situation?

It’s difficult to say definitively without knowing the specifics of the case. However, the government employee’s claim may be time-barred, as there is a limitation period for initiating legal action. You should consult a lawyer immediately to understand your legal rights and options for resolving this issue.

My grandfather passed away before 1954. He didn’t leave a will. My father then passed away in 1972. Our family home is still registered in my grandfather’s name. I have 4 sisters. This property has been in our family for generations. Given the recent 2005 ruling on ancestral property, the father needs to be alive in 2005 for daughters to inherit. My father wasn’t alive then, so does that mean my sisters and I have no claim to the house? Could you clarify this for me?

My father was a protected tenant on a piece of land. After his passing, I inherited it and obtained a 32M certificate after paying the landlord ₹1,500. Is this land now considered self-acquired or ancestral property? Can I will this land to someone outside the family? I paid the amount from my own savings. Do my son and daughter have any claim to this land?

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.

What factors does an Indian court consider when dividing a house owned by two brothers? If both brothers claim to have built the house with their own money, how does the court determine their respective shares? What evidence might the court require to prove individual contributions? If the evidence is inconclusive, how is the division calculated?

My father has two sisters. Sadly, his father passed away but his mother is still alive. We have a family property that my father wants to inherit. He already gave some money to his sisters as compensation, but we didn’t have anything in writing. How can we get a document to officially show that my father owns the property now, considering he already compensated his sisters?

Next Article Imagine this: someone files a false complaint against you at the police station, aiming to get back at you. The police realize the complaint is fabricated but still send two constables to your home, demanding you come to the station. You insist you’ve done nothing wrong, but the inspector arrives, threatening severe action and demanding an explanation for your refusal. You reluctantly go to the station, the case is settled out of court, and the inspector takes a bribe. My question is: are you legally obligated to go to the police station whenever they ask, even if you haven’t committed any crime? What’s the proper procedure in such situations?
