My grandfather had two sons, my father being the younger one. My uncle passed away a few years back. We have ancestral farmland in our village in Uttar Pradesh, inherited from our forefathers. We are two brothers and two cousins, each holding individual titles to the land, which was divided and registered during the land consolidation process around 30 years ago. There has never been any dispute or legal trouble regarding the land’s ownership or location. However, after a long absence from the village, my cousins are now demanding a redistribution of the land. What legal options are available to me and my brother to protect our rightful share?

Under Indian law, your existing registered titles and the absence of previous disputes provide strong legal grounds to resist your cousins’ demand for redistribution. You and your brother can seek legal counsel to establish the validity of your titles and challenge their claim. Furthermore, you can explore options like filing a suit for declaration of title and injunction against any unauthorized attempts to disturb your possession of the land.

Previous Article My husband filed for divorce in 2015, citing Section 9 of the law. After receiving this notice, I filed a case under Section 498A for domestic violence and also sought maintenance for myself. He had been pressuring me for dowry, demanding a car, land, and gold for my younger sister. He’s shown no interest in me or our relationship, and our love life is nonexistent. He wants a son, and we have a daughter. I’ve realized my child isn’t safe with him and his family. I’ve tried talking to his parents, but he’s never been supportive. He’s constantly dodged my questions about our future. Then, on my daughter’s first birthday, he came with his parents and some strangers. He caused a scene, using vulgar language, and falsely accused me of having inappropriate relationships, even involving my father. I’ve decided I can’t stay with him and am now living with my parents. I’ve been here since my pregnancy. I have proof to support my case, though initially I hoped he was innocent. Now, I realize he’s part of the problem. It’s too late, but I’ve taken precautions. I bought a new phone and started recording conversations.
