My neighbour has built a house on a part of our shared land, claiming ownership, even though it belongs to my great-uncle’s family. They couldn’t divide the property after his death, and two brothers sold it without proper paperwork. The buyer, a former local council member, used his influence to build the house without legal approval, and even encroached on our common passageway. Can we take this matter to court, and what are the chances of a fair outcome?

Yes, you can take this matter to court. You have strong grounds to claim your rightful share of the land, as the sale was invalid due to lack of proper paperwork and the encroachment on the common passageway further strengthens your case. The court will consider all evidence and determine the rightful ownership, giving you a good chance of a fair outcome.

Our family ran a restaurant in the 1970s, which was unfortunately torn down for a road widening project. We were offered a new shop in exchange, but my father refused to pay the required amount and instead chose to rebuild the restaurant along the newly constructed road. He obtained all necessary licenses, including shop act, electricity, water, and fire brigade, but unfortunately, the land papers were never acquired. Now, the municipal corporation has issued a notice to demolish the restaurant within a month. Is there any way we can prevent this demolition?

We’re building our house in Ludhiana and our neighbor has filed a case against us, getting a stay order on construction based on untrue claims. They say we encroached on public land (which is completely false and the municipality will verify), that we had a fight (never happened, no police report), and that we damaged a pole (there isn’t even one there!). We have a court hearing on the 18th to dismiss the stay order. If it’s not lifted, what options do we have? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

My father recently passed away, and my mother divided his property and rental income equally between herself and my two brothers (my eldest brother is deceased, so his wife received his share). However, she excluded me, the youngest daughter. She claims I have no legal right to the property, which I know is wrong. I’m concerned they are misinterpreting the law. What legal options do I have to ensure I receive my rightful share?

My son lives separately, but my daughter-in-law refuses to join him. She’s been causing us mental and physical distress, demanding money and property. She even physically assaulted my wife in 2014, resulting in a fracture, leading to a police case filed against her. Due to the threats, my wife and I have been living separately in rented accommodation since 2014. She’s taken over the entire flat, which I bought in Faridabad (Haryana) in 2008. I hold a special power of attorney for the flat issued in Jalandhar, Punjab. Can I file an eviction case against my daughter-in-law using this power of attorney, or do I need to register the flat in my name first?

Previous Article As a lecturer in the Haryana School Education Department, I’m a general category candidate hoping for a promotion to a gazetted Class II post. I’m concerned about the promotion process, especially regarding reservation benefits and seniority calculations. Firstly, can the government offer reservation benefits for gazetted Class II posts despite rulings from the High Court and Supreme Court suggesting otherwise? Secondly, what is the primary factor for determining seniority in government employment – the date of joining the initial post or the date of the appointment offer? I’m considering legal action for a fair and timely promotion. Could you advise me on the appropriate court to file my petition for immediate relief? Thank you.
