Property right

Dear Sir
My father who died on 2000 has made all settlement thro' registered Will in which he has authorise to enjoy the property ( agricultural land) his only son and also mentioned that he had settled his 2 sisters by the way of cash and jewels. The year of Will register is 1995 during which all sisters were got married. Now one among the two sister wants to go court for claim the father property by equal rights due to jealousy whereas other sister has accepted that father had given enough settlement by way of cash and jewels.Now the above property is still in the father name.But all other control under me incl. property tax receipts. She may stop the name transfer also. In this case, if she go to court, what will be the result? Or what is your advise to execute property as per Will.

Property Tax Assessment-

we have purchased a flat in year 2006 which was under construction and occupied it in 2008 after complete construction of our 2 wings. The builder had proposed to build 8 wings of which he has completed only 2 wings and rest he is not building due to reason unknown.

He had promised duringthe booking a maintenance of rs. 1.50 psft.Now he has beens sending a maintenance bill for Rs. 2.50 psft which also includes property tax.

We have asked in vain the account / basis of levying all these.

Who gurantees the property tax is paid?
We have yet not received any Occupation certificate?
He had promised various things while booking but have not delivered like garden, seating arrangement. his plea is that the gove authorities have grabbed the part of land meant for the facilies.

what are our rights? How can we fight?

The Hindu Succession Act(Amended) Act,2005

My grand father died in 1961 leaving a house and few pieces of agriculture land intestate. Then those properties were transferred in Gram Panchayat record in the name of my father, his brother (my uncle) and my grand mother. After the death of my grand mother some where in 1970, still the said properties on the record of government are in the names of my father, my uncle and my grand mother, in 7/12 account.
My father expired on 31-12-2008 making a will in my favour in respect of those properties which he inherited form my grand father. My father had six sisters, four alive and two dead. After the death of either grand father or grand mother the properties were not sold, transferred, alienated or divided. But the as per government records, the properties are in the name of my father, uncle and grand mother as per 7/12 records.
My questions are: 1) All the sisters of my father or their heirs would have the equal right in those properties or my father and my uncle, only two would have rights, as the government records shows the names of my father, uncle and grand mother? 2) On the strength of the will of my father, will I be able to claim my rights in those properties after inducting my name on the government records?
Please reply and oblige.

Leasing of common areas in an apartment complex

This is in connection with a provision regarding the letting-out of common areas in an apartment complex consisting of 12 flats at Bangalore.

Two out of the 12 members of the soon to be formed society are not in favour of such letting out, whereas the other 10 are and have stated so and have conveyed their acceptance of the same.

The question that I wish to ask is, is a majority sufficient for including a clause for the same sufficient, or is unanimity essential?

I am including the text of two sections of The Karnataka Apartment Ownership Act, 1972 which the two different 'groups' are relying on to insist on the necessity of unanmity and the requirement of only a majority, respectively.

6. Common areas and facilities.- (1) Each apartment owner shall be entitled to an undivided interest in the common areas and facilities in the percentage expressed in the Declaration. Such percentage shall be computed by taking as a basis the value of the apartment in relation to the value of the property and such percentage shall reflect limited common areas and facilities.
(2) The percentage of the undivided interest of each apartment owner in the common areas and facilities as expressed in the Declaration shall have permanent character, and shall not be altered without the consent of all of the apartment owners expressed in an amended Declaration duly executed and registered as provided in this Act. The percentage of the undivided interest in the common areas and facilities shall not be separated from the apartment to which it appertains, and shall be deemed to be conveyed or encumbered with the apartment even though such interest is not expressly mentioned in the conveyance or other instrument.
(3) The common areas and facilities shall remain undivided and no apartment owner or any other person shall bring any action for partition or division of any part thereof, unless the property has been removed from the provisions of this Act as provided in sections 14 and 22. Any covenant to the contrary shall be null and void.
7
(4) Each apartment owner may use the common areas and facilities in accordance with the purpose for which they are intended without hindering or encroaching upon the lawful rights of the other apartment owners.
(5) The necessary work of maintenance, repair and replacement of the common areas and facilities and the making of any additions or improvements thereto shall be carried out only as provided herein and in the bye-laws.
(6) The Association of Apartment Owners shall have the irrevocable right, to be exercised by the Manager or Board of Managers, to have access to each apartment form time to time during reasonable hours as may be necessary for the maintenance, repair and replacement of any of the common areas and facilities therein or accessible therefrom, or for making emergency repairs therein necessary to prevent damage to the common area and facilities or to another apartment or apartments.


16. Bye-laws and their contents.- (1) The administration of every property shall be governed by bye-laws, a true copy of which shall be annexed to the Declaration . No modification of or amendment to the bye-law shall be valid, unless set forth in an amendment to the Declaration and such amendment is duly recorded and a copy thereof is duly filed with the competent authority.
(2) The bye-laws shall provide for the following matters, namely:-
(a) The election from among the apartment owners, of a Board of Managers, the number of persons constituting the same, and that the terms of at least one-third of the members of such Board shall expire annually: the powers and duties of the Board; the compensation, if any, of the members of the Board; the method of removal from office of
members of the Board; and whether or not the Board may engage the services of a Secretary, a Manager or Managing Agent, and specifying which of the powers and duties granted to the Board by this Act or otherwise may be dele
