You can file a legal case for a declaration of title and partition of the ancestral land. This lawsuit will challenge the forged thumbprint and establish your rightful share. You will need to gather evidence and seek legal assistance to prove your claim.

My brother and I, both over 25 years old, lost our parents last year. We’re looking to transfer their Mumbai property to our names. It’s undergoing redevelopment by a private builder, and construction might start soon. We’re wondering if the developer can transfer the property to both our names. Or would it be transferred to only one of us through a Transfer Deed? Would we need an NOC to transfer it to just one person’s name? As the elder brother, my name is on the electricity and other bills. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Our family has a piece of land that has been in our family for generations. My mother passed away when I was young, and my father later remarried. We have two brothers and three sisters, and my stepmother has a son. We’re all working hard, and when we come home on leave from our jobs in the Navy, my father won’t let us enter our own home. My brother and I loaned my father and his step-son money for an agricultural loan, and we have a written agreement that we’d receive a share of the ancestral land in return. We’ve fulfilled our part of the agreement, but now my father refuses to give us what we’re owed. What legal options do we have to claim our rightful share of the land?

I’m a Muslim man from Andhra Pradesh, India. My father-in-law gifted me a house through a settlement deed about 18 months ago, as I helped them financially during a difficult time. The house is located at my in-laws’ place. Unfortunately, things haven’t worked out with my wife and we’re going through a divorce. The Qazi has already issued two notices and is set to finalize the divorce in a few weeks. We don’t have children. My in-laws are now demanding the house back, claiming it was a gift according to the legal documents. I need legal advice on these matters: 1. If I divorce my wife, can my in-laws legally claim the house or file a case for it? 2. Is it advisable to sell the property now, considering the divorce process and the impending finalization? 3. If I sell the property now, what legal complications might arise if my in-laws file a case for it? I’m looking to schedule a phone consultation to discuss these questions in detail and determine the best course of action for me.

Previous Article My friend recently bought a house in a new colony near the Chandigarh border, close to a village called Jhampur. The bank approved his loan, and around 150-200 plots have already been sold with ownership transferred. Some families have even moved in, and construction is in full swing. While the land documents seem alright, the bank is only willing to provide a loan for building the house, not for the plot itself. This land is outside the “Lal Dora” area. The landowner has created his own map and divided the land into numbered plots. Currently, only electricity is available, and each plot relies on a submersible pump for water. Although the landowner admits the colony isn’t registered, he’s committed to building roads and a drainage system for waste water, but not a sewage system.
Next Article My friend invested in a property deal with three others, but I didn’t put in any money. We found a realtor who asked for a ₹50,000 advance, which we paid. A person in the realtor’s office promised to find us land. Later, we agreed to buy land from him and my friend paid ₹14 lakhs for booking. Now he’s refusing to show us the land or return the money. We filed a police complaint, but the other party bribed the police and destroyed evidence. We’re going to court, and my name is on the case. Could I face any problems?
