hv a simple question.
Iam a 90 % disabled person with no ability to walk.
My mother died 5 yrs back. in May. we are 4 sisters and 1 brother.She left a detailed WILL on how to divide the property. This question pertains to the division of the plot or land. The concerned translated portion of the WILL is as under:
2 sisters r nri.
I decide through this WILL that the property of the plot as mentioned above should be given to all the four daughters and son in an equal proportion, which means they should become co-owners of the above property of the plot. But in future, due to any reason any of my son or daughter may expire, then the remaining alive heirs can distribute amongst them the above property of plot with their mutual consent, and they will be deemed as independent owners, and in this regard, my son or daughters or any third party and their heirs cannot create any objection or dispute, and if they will create such dispute or objection then it would be treated as null and void by virtue of this WILL. now, after 6 months i.e in the month of december, one of my sister passed away.
Now one of my sister says tht she hs sold off her portion of the plot to some buyer. the plot hsnot been divided. ALL the original papers r with me. they jst hv whtsapp copy. the nri sisters want some time to update their official papers.
can a coowner go and sell his portion without the consent of others and tht too without papers.
if this is legally permitted then i too shld go and sell it. the rest 2 wld follow later on.
Is this step legally valid because she claims tht her husband was a supreme court lawyer and hence understands law better. Actually, the prices of the plot hv increased. She is refusing to wait for remaining 2 and me. The buyer is now pressurising me to sell my portion to him through the same route.
i shall be thankful if u learned lawyers can throw some light and guide me.

P.S: the plot is in my mom's name as of today.

Respected Experts,
I seek legal guidance regarding acquisition of my NA land having commercial potential in Nashik, Maharashtra.
The land is affected by a 45-meter Development Plan (DP) road. Recently, Nashik Municipal Corporation has issued a notice asking us to surrender the affected portion of land in exchange for TDR. No proposal for monetary compensation has been offered.
We have been informed orally that NMC does not have funds to pay cash compensation and that landowners must accept TDR only. No formal acquisition proceedings under Section 126 of the Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning Act, 1966 have been initiated so far.
Ready Reckoner rate of the land is approximately ₹31,000 per sq. meter, and the road widening is being expedited in view of Kumbh 2027.
My queries are:
1. Can the Municipal Corporation legally compel landowners to accept TDR instead of monetary compensation?
2. If landowners refuse TDR, is the authority bound to initiate compulsory acquisition under Section 126 MRTP Act read with RFCTLARR Act, 2013?
3. Can the authority take possession without completing acquisition proceedings and paying compensation?
4. If we approach the Bombay High Court seeking direction to initiate acquisition and pay compensation, are such writ petitions generally entertained at pre-acquisition stage?
5. Is lack of funds a legally valid ground to deny cash compensation?
We are willing to cooperate for public purpose but want lawful acquisition and fair compensation.
Kindly guide.

I have paid freehold conversion charges for my collector Sindhi displaced persons lease hold land at Jaripatka Nagpur as per challan issued by collector office Nagpur , now can I assume that land has been freehold? as my documents have been approved by land record office and SDO and positive report has been sent by SDO to collector, collector has issued challan after receiving report from SDO , which I have paid, even after payment of freehold conversion charges, collector may refuse to issue order? Or he will definitely issue order for conversion now?

I have a piece of land in Gondia district of maharastra,there is a law in maharashtra you can convert your piece of land as non agricultural .It is called gunthewari in which you have to pay the fees for gunthewari then the municipal council gives the permission to land owner to build a construction after payment of a certain fees according to their norms.
I had paid the the amount of gunthewari and the municipal council given me the permission to build construction as per the plan submitted by me.

I have got mutation done in my name for my 700 sq feet on property card 2 years back after my father, mother's death , being only legal heir , now my share of property is in my name and uncle's share of property is stillin my grandfather name , they have not changed the name in property cards, but is theirs
Now I have applied to collector for conversion to freehold for my 700 sq feet.
Land record office has sent positive report and SDO too has sent positive report 2-3 months back
Now collector office has issued a challan in my name for Rs 50000 being conversion charges etc , which I have paid
Is it ok ? Can I assume that my 700 sq feet area has been converted to freehold?
Formal Order has yet to come
Payment of challan means my application has been approved?

Release deed
Me and mother are first owners of a 2bhk flat in HM Royal, Kondhwa, Pune on 8th floor, building is 10 yrs old but that particular tower was constructed in 2025. Flat built up area is 57.96 sq m. Apart from mother, I have brother and brother in my family. Flat is self acquired with financial contribution from me and my parents.
