My husband passed away in 2013. His parents owned a flat, and his father passed away earlier. His two sisters still live there. I have a son, and his mother asked me to move out and stay with my parents. I was heartbroken and did so. Can I claim a share in the property for myself and my son?

Under Indian law, you, as the widow, and your son, as the heir, are entitled to a share in the property owned by your deceased husband’s father. However, you would need to file a legal claim for partition and seek a share in the property.

I paid ₹12 lakhs in cash to SARE Ramprastha Reality in March 2013 to book a flat. I signed an application form with their terms and conditions and received payment receipts for the booking amount. The flat was under construction at that time. However, I never signed a formal agreement or made any further payments. In 2015, I requested a refund of my ₹12 lakhs, but the company refused, citing ongoing construction. How can I legally claim my money back, including interest, from SARE Ramprastha?

My family has a long-held ancestral property, but my brothers are claiming I have no share based on a forged will. I plan to challenge this will in court and seek a division of the property. My lawyer says both cases can proceed together. I want to file for partition based on the property’s assessed value. Could the opposing lawyer argue that I should pay court fees based on the market value instead, and would this mean I lose the case if I don’t?

I paid the builder the full amount for my apartment, but they never mentioned any additional charges on the receipts. Now they are demanding interest on the amount, which feels like an unfair ransom. They also added a 3% service tax, which I believe might be unnecessary. Can you please clarify if this is legal? Adding to that, they built three extra flats on the clubhouse, which wasn’t mentioned in the original brochure. They even managed to get approvals from the GDA just two months ago, which feels like a clear case of cheating. Should I file a case in consumer court and is there a way to put a temporary stop to their actions?
