My grandfather owned some land. After he passed away, my eldest uncle sold the land to his wife without consulting the rest of us. We never agreed to the sale and didn’t sign any documents. Now, my cousins are living on the land and refusing to share it, claiming it belongs to their mother. How can we get our rightful share since the sale wasn’t approved by everyone?

As the land was inherited from your grandfather, you and your siblings are legal heirs and have equal rights to it. Since the sale was not approved by all heirs and you did not consent, the transaction is likely invalid under Indian inheritance laws. You can approach a court to challenge the sale and claim your rightful share of the property.
