My grandfather gifted a shop to my uncle, but my father and uncle worked there together. After my grandparents passed away, my uncle claimed ownership and asked my father to leave. We’ve filed a case against him. Since I live in the US, can I claim a share of the shop based on ancestral rights? If not, what other options do I have? Could you give me some insight into how the court might rule and how strong our case is?

As you live in the US, your claim to the shop based solely on ancestral rights might be difficult under Indian law. You’ll need to demonstrate a specific legal claim, such as joint ownership or a right to inherit from your father. The court will consider the nature of the gift, evidence of your father’s contribution, and any agreements between your father and uncle.
