My grandfather bought a single room in a slum area using the pagri system. In 2005, he gifted it to my father, ensuring only he would inherit it. Since then, all rent receipts and bills are in my father’s name. However, in 2015, my grandfather wants to sell the property and divide it into three parts – one for him and one each for my father and uncle. We don’t want to sell. What should we do?

Under Indian law, your grandfather’s attempt to divide the property is likely invalid as he gifted it to your father. Your father’s name on the rent receipts and bills strengthens his ownership. You can file a legal suit to prevent the sale and protect your father’s inheritance rights.

I’ve applied for permission to sell my flat. The buyer is an Indian living in London and her father is going to be a joint owner. She got a loan approved for most of the purchase price. My building committee is delaying the permission because they say her father doesn’t have a steady income, even though I’ve paid all my dues. This delay might cost me money as I’ve put down a deposit on another, better flat. What should I do?

My father gifted his property (bought in 1976) to my grandmother (my mother’s mother) in 1987. Then, my grandmother gave my mother the authority to sell the property in 2000. My mother is the sole inheritor and we’ve always paid taxes, bills, and maintained the property, even collecting rent. Now, my mother wishes to sell it. What’s the quickest and most straightforward way to proceed? Some suggest getting a new legal heirship certificate (ration card is unavailable), while others advise mutation, probate of will, or legal administration. I’m confused. We have a potential buyer who needs documents for legal verification.

My grandmother was an only child, and my father, who had limited means, lived with my grandparents and helped manage their ancestral property. However, my brother forged a will in 1996, claiming the entire property for himself and forging my grandfather’s signature. This property wasn’t earned by my grandfather, it was passed down through generations. My grandfather passed away in 1998, and my father in 2008. My mother, who is still living, believes we daughters should also inherit the property. Can we legally challenge the forged will with my mother’s support?

Previous Article My grandfather, who passed away years ago, owned some agricultural land in a Tripura village. He left this land to his two sons – my father and my uncle. The land was never divided between them. Recently, my uncle sold half the property to someone else, but the price he got was much higher than the remaining land’s value. Now, my father has gotten his name removed from the records of the remaining land, leaving him as the sole owner. I’m worried about getting a fair share of the land, considering the value difference. My uncle already sold part of his share to another person. Is there still a chance for me to get my share of the land, or is it too late?
Next Article A man accused me of hitting him with a stone, causing injuries and tooth loss. The police registered a case and referred him to a government hospital for examination. The hospital found he sustained the injuries in a drunken state. However, the police officer suppressed this report and filed another report claiming grievous hurt. During the trial, all witnesses turned hostile. The officer who filed the second report admitted he was not authorized to issue medical certificates. Despite submitting the government hospital’s report, the court refused to mark it as evidence or call the doctor. Ultimately, I was convicted for causing hurt. The appellate court reduced my sentence to 6 months. I have a few doubts. Firstly, isn’t the police officer’s suppression of the first medical report and filing a false report a fraud? If so, wouldn’t this make the judgment invalid?
