Relative refusing to vacate premises

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 29 October 2017 This query is : Resolved
Dear experts,

We have an independent house in the state of Karnataka. It was built by my parents so that my grandparents could live during 1980. In 2000 my father's sister (and her daughter) got separated (not divorced till date) from her husband and moved into this house and is currently living there. During 2015 and 2016, my grandparents expired and now my parents want to sell the property for financial reasons. Currently, the relative is not willing to vacate the house even though she is working for quite some time now and has a steady job.

Question:
1 What is the best way to evict the relative?
2 Will the property go to her since she has lived there for so long?
3 Can we take the help of local police?

Any suggestions to handle this situation is welcome.

Dear querist before stepping in to legal battle better seek the possibility of seeking a remedy with the help of well wishers of your family and elders. You could very well occupy that house and no one could stop you.

On Legal side, the remedy lies under Civil Law. Police Action wont help you. As the property belongs to your parents, mere long stay of relatives does not mean that they have become owners of the property. You may file suit for possession in order to have the property vacated. And in case you were generating rent from them then Rent Law remedy shall also be available to you. Please visit some local lawyer who shall be in a position to evaluate the circumstances and then follow up with the legal remedies as available in your state.
