I am handling the fight for the legally eligible land of my mother and her siblings.
Her grandfather had nearly 1000 acres of agricultural land in a village in Telangana. He was called something called "Watandaar"
Post the demise of her elder brother, nobody has kept tabs on the land matters and collectively 7 siblings(including the demised brother's family) is trying to legally approach the posession and division of this land.
The fact is there is some evidences that they carry about the property and upon consulting a civil lawyer we have been told to get the papers from year 1954 about the possession of the land by my mother's grandfather. The word that was used is to get the pahanis.
The question I have is, assuming we are able to dig out all the records of the land(nearly 1000 acres) and be able to pursue the fight for it....how many acres of land do my mother and her brothers and sisters get to keep?
Is there any upper limit on the agricultural land that individuals can keep?
How do we approach this posessions and retaining case and address division of property amongst ourselves. It would be nice if someone qualified on this forum is able to tell what the current agricultural land laws are at the state of Telangana.
I look forward to hear from the experts on this forum.
Thanks,
