My uncle and I jointly own a property in Rajasthan. He recently rented it out without my consent or even telling me. There’s no formal rent agreement, and the tenant wasn’t checked by the police. I’m worried about the legal consequences of this. Would it be wise to report this to the police? What kind of penalties could my uncle face if he’s found responsible?

As you jointly own the property, your uncle’s decision to rent it without your consent is a violation of your rights. You can legally challenge this action. While reporting to the police might not be the best initial step, you should consult a lawyer to explore options like seeking injunctions or challenging the tenancy. Your uncle could face legal consequences, including a court order to vacate the tenant or legal action for breach of trust.
