I am his granddaughter, 25 years old, and my father was not informed about the sale. Can you tell me how to file a case in this situation?

You can file a suit for partition of the ancestral land claiming your rightful share as a legal heir. Since the sale was done without your father’s knowledge and consent, it might be considered fraudulent and the sale may be challenged in court. Consult a lawyer to explore the options available to you based on specific details of the case.

My grandfather passed away leaving ancestral land in Dwarahat, Almora, Uttarakhand. The land records show all inheritors, including myself. My grandfather had four sons, all deceased. We, his 12 grandsons, are now the rightful heirs. The property is divided into separate plots across the Tehsil. My share is 12.5%. While the family divided the property amongst themselves, it was never officially registered. Now, one cousin, holding a 4.2% share, has begun selling land in a prime location without consulting the rest of the family. He sold two plots originally allotted to my father during the informal partition. I protested this sale but was told by the Tehsildar that any shareholder can sell their land without needing consent from others, as long as it’s within their allocated share. Is this legal? How can I safeguard my portion of the land from further sales? Is it possible for me to register my share of the plots in my name?

I’ve applied for permission to sell my flat. The buyer is an Indian living in London and her father is going to be a joint owner. She got a loan approved for most of the purchase price.

This delay might cost me money as I’ve put down a deposit on another, better flat. What should I do?
