Partition on ancestral land

After our father's death, we filed a partition suit in court to divide the property. Before the judgment was pronounced, our mother, who was one of the legal heirs, passed away. Now, the judgment for dividing the said property has been issued. While dividing this property, is it necessary to file a separate partition suit again to partition our deceased mother's share of the property?"

Share of already partitioned property

If Coparcner property of Ancestral agricultural land of 12 Acres in name of my Paternal grandfather already divided between 4 family members by my paternal grandfather. And that was divided among my Grandfather himself, Grandmother, My father & and my real uncle(each got 3 acres in their name). My Grandfather was not having any daughters only having 2 sons.

Now My Father & mother died in accident leaving behind my unmarried sister of 23 years and me 21 years. Also my grandmother is alive.

As per Hindu succession act section 6 and subsection-3 below clearly states that Intrest of Hindu who died, calculated first by using principle of notional Partition. And that share furthershall devolve by testamentary or intestate succession, as the case may be, under this Act and not by survivorship.

As per this grandmother should get share in below fashion utilzing subsection 3 of section 6 of Hindu succession act and applying points A,B,C in subsection 3 in section 6.

In this example coparcener property of 3 acres in father's name will be divided applying Notional partition to calculate intrest of father who died. While doing this me,my sister and father assuming alive just before death(as per Notional Partition) will get 3 equal share of 1 acre each.This notional partition among coparcener is done by applying points A,B,C per this section 6 & subsection-3.
Then further that 1 acre in intrest of my father will be divided among class 1 heirs as per succession (as will is not there).So grandmother will get 1/3 acres,additionally me will get additional 1/3 acres apart of original 1 acres.Likewse my sister like me.
Please clarify is it correct division?

As Grandmother already hold 3 acres after original partition.And when 3 acres moved ony father's name after partion. That is his separate property and joint status is servered from unity to individual and all original coparcener has recived their share and their intrest crystallised.
And further they will not be entitled in share out of remaining property's partition.(But can get as legal heir through succession).

But when and my sister born we become coparcener along with my father and property of 3 acres become coparcener property again.

After one year, i pledged jewels of 45 grams at the money lender separately and the lender assured me there is no connection for already borrowed money.

Property ownership

Respected Sir/madam,
My relative who lives in a village is retired from the Indian Army and has purchased a home in the name of his wife, but the home was financed by a bank, and he has paid EMI every month from his bank account. The wife of my relative ran away from another man and lives with him. In this case how will he get the ownership of the home that is registered in his wife's name? But the payment is given by him. What are the legal remedies available to him?
Please guide
Thanks & regards,
Rohit Shukla
