We’re facing a tricky situation in our ancestral home. A man claims half the house is his. When we checked the city survey records, it listed him as “Sugam Mal, son of Gangabaksh”. However, he also claims to be the son of Sugam Mal, son of Gangabaksh, to justify his claim. We found another house he sold in the same neighborhood in 1978. The city survey for that house mentioned his father as “Sugam Mal, son of Rupnarayan.” It seems he’s trying to exploit two different fathers’ property.

The discrepancy in the city survey records raises significant doubt about the man’s claim. Under Indian law, proof of parentage is crucial for inheritance claims. The conflicting records regarding his father’s name and the sale of another property raise suspicion about his claim and may be used to challenge his right to the ancestral home. It is advisable to consult a lawyer to explore legal options and proceed with a proper legal challenge.

My grandfather (mother’s father) had two sons and two daughters. Sadly, he passed away two years ago.

I paid the builder the full amount for my apartment, but they never mentioned any additional charges on the receipts. Now they are demanding interest on the amount, which feels like an unfair ransom. They also added a 3% service tax, which I believe might be unnecessary. Can you please clarify if this is legal? Adding to that, they built three extra flats on the clubhouse, which wasn’t mentioned in the original brochure. They even managed to get approvals from the GDA just two months ago, which feels like a clear case of cheating. Should I file a case in consumer court and is there a way to put a temporary stop to their actions?

My father, a Hindu, is the sole owner of a piece of land registered in his name. He informally gave a portion to his brother without any legal paperwork.

Wondering who gets to enjoy the lovely parks, clubhouses, and other common spaces in those big apartment projects in Bangalore?

Previous Article We’ve been married for two years, and knew each other before. But since the wedding, my husband hasn’t shown any interest in intimacy. We’ve seen doctors, but he doesn’t seem to care about getting help. I’m incredibly frustrated and unsure if I should even consider divorce. I’m starting to question everything, even his orientation. It feels like we’re just roommates, not a married couple. What should I do?
Next Article I was stopped at a police check post on February 24th, 2013. I had a beer an hour earlier, and the breathalyzer test showed I was over the limit. I admitted to having a beer and was taken to the police station. They charged me a fine of Rs. 2,000 and took my license and registration papers. They let a friend drive my car home. Now they want me to come back to the station and take me to court. What should I do? Should I plead guilty or not guilty? What happens if I’m found guilty? What are my options?
