Under Indian law, your wife may have a claim to the land based on inheritance rights. If her grandfather did not leave a will, the land would be divided among his legal heirs, including your wife. Your wife can file a suit for partition and possession of her share in the land, challenging the 2017 sale.

My family bought a flat four years ago, and it was supposed to be ready more than two years ago according to the agreement. The penalty for the delay seems to be just on paper. Recently, we received a letter asking us to finish some work in the flat. We’ve been to the construction site three times, but each time, we’re told we can’t see the flat for one reason or another. We’ve even sent emails and letters asking the builder to let us see the flat before we pay anything, but there’s no response. What can we do now?

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?

My father passed away in 2010, leaving behind two pieces of land and an ancestral house. My mother and sister are the other legal heirs. We have updated the ownership records for the 9-acre non-agricultural land in our names. The 10-acre agricultural land was jointly owned by my father and mother, and now my sister and I have inherited his share. However, my sister is demanding half of the ancestral house, which is still in my grandfather’s name. He passed away in 2009 and left a will giving my father a 25% share. My sister already holds 33% of the house, but now she wants 50% by claiming half of my mother’s share. My mother is alive and well. We want to file a partition suit. What steps should we take to resolve this situation?

My grandfather passed away in 1986, leaving behind his property to be divided equally among his five children, including my father. Sadly, my father passed away in 2011. He had two children: my sister and me. We want to ensure our mother benefits from our share of the inherited property, even if it’s sold in the future. How can we transfer our rights in this joint property to her?

My grandfather’s land was taken by the government, but they offered us a different plot in exchange. This land can’t be sold for 25 years. However, 10 years later, it was transferred to another person, along with 20 others. Can we reclaim the land? If so, what are the steps involved?

Next Article We booked a flat eight years ago, but haven’t received possession yet. The builder keeps delaying, citing reasons like mutation and partition. He agreed to buy the flat back two years ago, promising 18% interest if payment was delayed beyond six months. He’s only paid 15% so far and keeps stalling. Can we file a case to get our money back? What are our chances of success, and when should we file? The agreement also prevents us from selling the flat. What options do we have?
