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 signed a contract with a developer in 2005 to build me a new flat on the same plot where my old 300 square feet flat was located. The developer promised to complete the project within a year. However, they haven’t delivered the flat yet, and they haven’t even paid me rent for alternate accommodation for the past 15 months. Despite several meetings, including one at Shri Gopal Shetty’s office in 2015, the developer is refusing to fulfill the original agreement of providing a 300 square feet flat on the same plot. Now they are offering a smaller 250 square feet flat on a different plot, which is not what I agreed to.
