My grandfather left behind some land, and my father bought a portion from his brother, making a larger share for himself. I also contributed around 2 lakhs towards the property. My father recently got a court order preventing us from claiming our share. The land is also registered in my deceased mother’s name. What legal steps can I take to secure my rightful share of the ancestral property?

Since your father bought a portion of the land from your uncle, his claim is likely stronger. However, you can argue that your contribution of 2 lakhs grants you a share in the property. Additionally, your mother’s name on the registration documents might provide you with some rights. Consult a lawyer to assess your specific case and explore options like filing a suit for partition or seeking a declaration of your share.
