Agreement to sale validity

An agreement to sale (ATS) was executed in Tamil Nadu by six legal heirs of the property (Located in Chennai) on a stamp paper of Rs. 20, purchased by our father on 18th May 2010, after six years of his death with two prospective buyers. Our mother died before my father died.
A Token amount was given to all the legal heirs and it was stated in the ATS. It was further stated that the purchaser has to pay the balance amount in equal share to all the vendors and get it registered with in 90 days from the date the last vendor signing the ATS as the vendors are signing the ATS on the different date due to the fact some of them are residing out side the state of Tamil Nadu but with in India. The last vendor signed the ATS on 12-06-2010. Accordingly the performance should have taken place on 12-09-2010.
On the due date in spite of various assurance given by the buyers the sale could not be done even today ie 04-05-2011. Buyers are giving lame excuses and trying to delay the issue. Recently they had told that instead of sale deed they prefer to go on power of Attorney basis to avoid stamp duty etc., followed by sale deed and to show less amount of sale consideration. From this it is clear they are the genuine buyers instead brokers looking for a hike in the price and to sell later.
Since the forfeiture clause was not mentioned , they had not come forward to take back the advance money. On our enquiry, they insisted that they are interested in purchase and as per the law of land (TN) the ATS is valid for three years though for specific 90 days is mentioned. Neither he is allowing for a new buyers to come.
Shall be grateful if the clarification is provided on the following quarries which is roaming in my mind.
1. Is the ATS is still valid even after the expiry of 90 days.
2. Under which Law the indirect assumption of validity of three years of ATS is applicable as conveyed by the buyer.
3. Can they prevent the new buyers and create problem at the time of registration
4. Are we bound to return the Advance money though the forfeiture clause is not there. We are interested for the specific performance even today as per the ATS. Can we take legal action against the buyers on specific performance.
5. Since they are not demanding the advance money how to pay them. Is it to thro court or any other alternative is available.

U.P. Control Act

I am the only child of my parents. My mother was gifted a property by her mother in law i.e. grandmother by virtue of registered gift deed. That as an eldest member of the family rent was being accepted by my grand mother. My grandmother was died in 1996.Thereafter the rent was being accepted by my father for few years being as eldest member of the family, and receipts used to be given either by my sign or by my fathers, but due to some unavoidable habits of my father, my mother has appointed me her attorney to collect the rent by virtue of registered power of attorney. Thereafter demand notice was sent to the tenants to pay the rent giving the details of attorney. But the rent was sent through the money order in the name of my father and my father had refused to receive the rent. An application was moved before the court of law under section 30(1) of the said act by the tenants. My father stated in his written statement that he was no more land lord and had no objection if the rent was paid to my only son. The matter has been disposed off in LOK ADALAT with the direction since no title has been shown and tenants can deposit rent on their risk.
In protest of aforesaid judgment, review application has been filed. In the mean time my father was suffering from lung Cancer subsequently died on 6 Jan 2011 due to long illness review application under section 30(1) have been dismissed in default.

It is pertinent to mention here that I am unemployed and have become over aged and my mother has filed suit for eviction under section 21(1) of the said act in the year 2005 which is still pending in the court.

Now my queries are as follows:

1) Whether the court is empowered to test the ownership under section 30(1)?
2) Whether my mother should serve a fresh demand notice to the tenants giving all details for making the payment of rent.?
3) What I should do for taking the rent which was deposited in the court in favour of my father under section30(1)?
Kindly help me on this forum.
Thanks.

validity of unequal partition of Mother's property

Dear Sirs,
Here is a peculiar case, wherin a 80 years old father of a HUF family is trying to cheat his 4 daughters/lone son of their due share in their mother's self-earned property.

The Father is aged bout 80 years and his wife died in the year 2005 leaving behind 4 married daughters, 1 married Son, Grand Sons & Grand Daughters.
The Mother of these 5 persons was having self-earned agricultural land of 5 acres near Chennai in her name and the present market value is around 1.2 crores.
She did not leave behind any will on her property. Hence the Father of this family wants, the entire property should go to him.

Hence he hatched a wicked plan and staged a drama in the year 2007, as if he would end his life, if his son or 4 daughters doesn't sign a deed prepared by him.
Out of fear and emotional pressure, his only son and 4 daughters were forced to sign/register a document, even without questioning him about the contents of it.
He did not gave a copy of the document to any of his daughters/son, as he doesn't want any one to know the contents of the document.

Hence one of his daughter questioned him about his crooked act, in a family gathering last week. As his conspiracy was exposed, once again he played a emotional
drama and got support from 2 daughters. Hence 2 daughters want to have equal share in the foresaid property and other 2 doesn't want any share.

One of his daughter had managed to get a copy of the document and shocked to know it is DEED OF PARTITION WITH A CASH PAYMENT FOR EQUALISATION.

A gist of this partition deed is given below:
Partys to the deed: (1) Father, (2) to (5) Daughters and (6) Son.
Total area of the property : 5 Acres and was divided into "A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F"schedules.
Declared Value of the total property: 75 Lacs.

Value of the schedule "A" property was declared as Rs. 74,50,000/- and this goes to part No. (1)
Value of the schedule "B", "C", "D", "E", "F" was declared as Rs. 10,000/- each and goes to partys (2) to (6).
As Party Nos. (2), (3), (4), (5), (6) doesn't have a need for this property, they have handed over their shares to party No.(1) for a sum of Rs. 10,000/- only.
A Total sum of Rs. 50000/- was paid to them from the family income.
This partition was done for the comfort and development of individual families.

Whether this partition can be challenged for depriving equal shares to the daughters of the family?

Can one or two daughter alone fight for equal property share now?

Please provide your valueable suggestions and advice.

Thanking you inadvance.

Prakash.

Redevelopement of pagdi system flat. Rights of a tenant.

Dear Sir,
I ve been staying in a pagdi system flat for last 40 years. There was no agreement to begin with though I have the rent receipts, electricity bills and other address proofs with me. A public notice has appeared in a news paper asking for declaration of any interest in the land as the landlord wants to sell his rights to a developer.
What are we as tenants suppoed to do? should we inform the developer that we are the tenants there?
In general, what are the rules guiding such transactions? What right do we have in deciding the corpus fund, rent, extra space etc. as the agreement would eventually occur between the land lord and the builder?
if we have to seek legal help, who should we approach?
