My mother owns a small plot of land, about 200 square feet. My brother borrowed money from someone and used the land documents as a guarantee. To pay this person back, my mother borrowed money and also gave the land documents as a guarantee. Now, she has divided the property between my brother and sister, but hasn’t given me any share. Can I claim my rightful share? Can I approach the community council for help? What legal options do I have in this situation?

Yes, you can claim your rightful share of the property as a legal heir. You can approach the court or a lawyer for legal options to claim your share. The community council may not have any legal power to intervene in property matters.

Our housing society, formed under the Karnataka Apartment Owners’ Association Act, 1972, faces a unique situation. The builder has offered us a vacant flat in exchange for our help in selling the remaining unsold units. This flat was constructed beyond the approved plan, and the builder also omitted promised facilities like open parking and a squash court, using the shared space for these extra apartments. The flat has received Katha but lacks an Occupation Certificate. We have two questions: 1. Can our association, which is registered with the Registrar of SD and Properties but not as a formal society, legally own a flat in its name? 2. Given that we’re receiving this flat in exchange for forgoing promised amenities and accepting a smaller per capita share of common space, are there any tax implications, particularly in terms of income tax?

Previous Article I’ve been convicted in a lower court for a year based on just one witness, who happens to be a friend of the person who filed the case against me. I didn’t say anything in my defense and appealed the decision. I have some video and audio clips that could prove my innocence, but my lawyer says it’s too late to submit them. These clips show the police officer, the investigator, and the person who accused me, all involved in something suspicious. What can I do now?
Next Article My husband and I own our house, but due to family circumstances, he sold it in November with a 6-month agreement. The buyer paid a down payment of 30 lakhs, but now he wants to register the property in his name after paying only half the amount.

What should we do?
