Under Indian law, ownership of property can be transferred through valid sale. If your father legally sold the land, your claim to ownership would likely be unsuccessful unless there are specific legal grounds to challenge the sale, such as fraud or undue influence.

My father passed away in 2010, leaving behind two pieces of land and an ancestral house. My mother and sister are the other legal heirs. We have updated the ownership records for the 9-acre non-agricultural land in our names. The 10-acre agricultural land was jointly owned by my father and mother, and now my sister and I have inherited his share. However, my sister is demanding half of the ancestral house, which is still in my grandfather’s name. He passed away in 2009 and left a will giving my father a 25% share. My sister already holds 33% of the house, but now she wants 50% by claiming half of my mother’s share. My mother is alive and well. We want to file a partition suit. What steps should we take to resolve this situation?

Previous Article A 1998 court order granted possession of a property to a landlord, but only described the land by its boundaries, not a plot number. The landlord claimed to have acquired the property from a third party through a registered document, mentioning the tenant as a contractor for the land. In 2011, the landlord sought execution of the decree. However, the tenant contested the execution, arguing that the property was not identifiable, was actually government land, and the area mentioned in the decree didn’t exist – the land in question was only 9 acres, not the 16 acres stated in the decree. A land commission was appointed, which confirmed these discrepancies. The questions are: Can the landlord execute the court order on this property? What legal options are available to the tenant in this situation?
