You have the right to file a civil suit against your neighbor for trespass and encroachment. You can seek an injunction to stop further construction and demand the removal of the illegal structure. Additionally, you can claim damages for the loss of your property’s value and any other related losses.

Our housing society in Bangalore, registered under the Karnataka Society Registration Act of 1960, was developed through a Joint Development Agreement between the builder and the landowner. While the builder has 140 flats and the landowner has 60, leaving a total of 200 flats, some units remain unsold (around 25 by the builder and 30 by the landowner). The landowner has registered two flats in his son’s name, and his son resides in them. Now, the landowner is demanding membership in the society for all 30 unsold flats, claiming ownership and wanting 30 votes in the general body meetings. Our questions are: 1. Can the landowner and/or builder be members of the association based on unsold flats? 2. Should they have voting rights equivalent to the number of unsold flats, one vote each, or no votes at all? 3. Can the landowner’s presence be counted as 30 members for quorum purposes if he gets 30 votes? We’ve maintained that the landowner has only two voting rights as he’s registered only two flats and resides in them. He argues that the Joint Development Agreement grants him ownership of all unsold flats. This raises the issue of the builder’s membership and voting rights as well. We want to ensure fairness and avoid denying anyone their legal rights. A) What approach should we take? B) What property documents prove their right to membership? Currently, we require the first page of the registered sale deed from other residents to verify ownership.

Neighbors, We’ve noticed that the new construction behind our home seems to be encroaching on our property line. Our house is quite old and was built according to all Nagar Nigam regulations. Unfortunately, the new building’s proximity is causing some damage to our home. We’ve tried to speak with the builders, but they’ve been avoiding direct communication. Is there anything we can do to stop them from encroaching further? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

My grandfather built a house and sadly passed away. It was inherited by my grandmother, who has two children, my father and his sister. The house has three floors. My grandmother’s will states that two floors should go to my father and one to his sister. My father recently remarried after separating from my mother. My question is, after my grandmother passes, can my father sell his two floors and I would get nothing from this ancestral property? If he wills one floor to me, what rights does his second wife have over the remaining floor? Can he decide what happens to that floor?

My grandfather, born in the 1920s, divided his property among his sons in 1965. He received a house and land, which he later sold before 1985. He had two sons and two daughters, all married by 1983. My father, his second son, cared for him and my grandmother from 1985 until his passing in 2000. In 2002, my grandfather, then 80 years old, signed a deed giving his deceased son’s children, aged 25 and 30, the right to care for him and my grandmother. My grandfather passed away in 2010. In 2011, my grandfather’s other son and two daughters filed a suit to divide the remaining property, including the house. My aunts took my grandmother with them, claiming a share of the house for themselves. They argue for an equal share. Is the 2002 deed my grandfather signed valid?

I read a news article about the Supreme Court ruling on ancestral property. It said women can’t inherit ancestral property if their father died before 2005. I’m from Tamil Nadu, and I have some questions. Does this ruling apply to all states? Can women really not inherit ancestral property if their father died before 2005? What share would a woman be entitled to if her father died before 2005?

Previous Article I’m planning to buy a flat in RR Nagar, Bangalore. The approved plan shows 4 floors with 4 kitchens, one flat per floor with 4 rooms and one kitchen. However, the builder has built 5 floors with 10 flats, 2 flats per floor. Each flat has 3 bedrooms and one kitchen. If I buy two flats on the first or second floor, is there a risk of the BBMP or BDA demolishing the entire building?
Next Article Is a respondent’s physical presence in court truly necessary during cross-examination of the petitioner? The case has been stalled for over 3 months due to the respondent’s absence, with only their lawyer appearing. Could this be a tactic to delay proceedings?
