Our new residents’ association started charging per hour for using the billiards table and yoga room this month, on top of our regular maintenance fees. This wasn’t the case before when the builder managed things. Our association rules say we can’t use any facilities for commercial purposes. They say this fee is to stop beginners from using the billiards table and damaging it. Is this allowed? Can we fight this legally? Are these extra charges considered commercial?

Charging residents for using common facilities like the billiards table and yoga room, especially when the association rules prohibit commercial use, could be considered a violation. This may be challenged legally, arguing that the charges are commercial in nature and against the association’s own rules.

Two brothers in India inherited land 30 years ago. Now, they’re dividing it, but the property records show an uneven split – one brother owns three-fourths while the other owns one-fourth. The brother with the smaller share wants to buy land to equalize their holdings, but the other brother refuses to contribute to the cost. Is this legal, and how should the expenses be divided? Furthermore, since the brother with the smaller share has always been the one investing in equalizing the property, is there any way to adjust the future sharing of expenses, and if so, how?

I bought agricultural land in Devdurga district, got it registered and obtained the patta. However, the previous owner is now claiming his mother has a right to the land, even though it wasn’t inherited. He filed an objection at the registrar office and is demanding ₹3 lakhs to drop the case. This harassment has been ongoing for the past 3 years, and he keeps raising his demands. As I live in Bangalore, is there a way to file a harassment case here to avoid travelling to Devdurga frequently? I’m willing to hire a lawyer.

My family’s ancestral home in Bagmari, Kolkata, was bought by my father in 1958 and registered in my mother’s name. After my father passed away in 1996, my sisters, especially the second one and her husband, began causing trouble. They used my aging mother to file false complaints at Manicktola Police Station, and the officer harassed me, demanding I leave the house. We were eventually forced out. How can we regain possession of our family home?
