My grandfather received land documents, the Chitta and Adangal, from the government over 5 decades ago. When I contacted the Village Administrative Officer (VAO), he said the Chitta is outdated and can’t be used for a new Patta. But the new Patta doesn’t include my grandfather’s name. I need to find out how the ownership changed and who sold our land. Can I get my land back if I apply to the authorities? Please advise.

You have a legitimate claim to the land based on your grandfather’s Chitta and Adangal. You should file an application with the Tahsildar to investigate the change in ownership and seek a new Patta in your name. You should also consider consulting a lawyer to understand your legal rights and options.

My grandfather had three sons and four daughters. All his daughters got married before he passed away. Fifteen years later, they’re now asking for their share in his property. Do they have the right to a share? If so, what are the laws and procedures involved? My grandfather didn’t leave a will. How can we divide the property and assets equally among his sons?

In a 200 square yard plot, inherited by two brothers, elder brother (A) and younger brother (B), as per their father’s registered will, brother A receives 175 square yards while brother B receives 150 square yards (at the back). The will states that while brother B can only enjoy the property, he cannot sell it, even after marriage. His wife and he can lease or rent it out, but selling is prohibited. Only their son, if they have one, can sell the property. If brother B dies without marrying or after his wife’s death, the property will go to brother A. Brother B has now married a widow who has a son (not from their marriage). Can this son become a legal heir to brother B’s property?
