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.

You have the right to prevent encroachment on your property. You can issue a legal notice to the builder demanding they stop construction and remove any encroachment. If they ignore the notice, you can file a civil suit in court seeking an injunction to halt the construction and compensation for damages.

My father passed away in February 2003. He strongly opposed giving any portion of his property to his daughter. So, in 1998, he let me build a house on the property at my own expense, allowing me to collect rent. After his passing, my mother claims there was no will and that she and my sister took all his savings – around 15 lakhs and some shares, the details of which are unclear. Now, they want a share in the property as well. This seems suspicious, especially since my mother never agreed to this arrangement before. I promptly got the property registered in my name, including electricity and water connections, in 2003. For the past 10 years, no one has contested this. I now wish to sell the property, but they refuse to sign, even if I offer them their rightful share. What legal steps should I take?

My grandfather, who owned 5 acres of land in Bihar, passed away in 1994. My grandmother followed in 1999. His 6 siblings, including my father who unfortunately died in 2002, inherited the property. Now, my mother and her 3 siblings are listed as owners on the land records. What are the steps we need to take to divide the property fairly and amicably among all of us?

My father passed away without a will, leaving his house to my mother and three brothers. I want to give my share of the house to my mother, as I don’t need it. If I do this, can my mother sell my share without any legal complications? I have a four-year-old son. If I give my share to my mother, will my son still have rights to his grandfather’s property in the future?

My family has been running a joint business since 1948. In 1964, my father bought a house using income from the family business. My grandfather passed away in 1966. The house was initially registered in my uncle’s name through a power of attorney, and then transferred to my father. A dispute arose in 1972 and was settled through an award in 1973, allocating the house to my father. He challenged the award in court but later withdrew the case in 2007. My question is: does this house fall under ancestral property? Does the pooled family property also constitute ancestral property? Can I claim a share in this property and if so, could I seek a stay order to prevent its sale until my claim is settled?

My father bought a property in 2014 from a woman named Mary Joseph. She had bought it from a man named Sanjeev in 1998. Sanjeev inherited this property from his father, making it ancestral land. Now, Sanjeev’s two sons are sending us legal notices saying the property was sold to Mary without their permission. They want some kind of compensation from us. They’ve been silent all this time, but now they’re making demands.
