Sale Deed made by 92 year old man with close relatives as wi

1) A man had five sons. A Sale Deed was made in 2000, when this man was 92 years old whereby he is selling a plot with house to one of his sons with two of his other sons i.e. very close relatives as the two witnesses. The old man dies at the age of 93 years old in 2001. The market value of the plot at the time of Sale was Rs. 5 lakhs, while the Sale Deed was made for Rs. 1 lakh only.

2) The man had five sons. The remaining two sons were not aware of this Sale.

3) Recently the mother died in 2009 and this is when the remaining two sons came to know of this sale done in 2000. The current market value of the plot and house is Rs. 20 lakhs.


My query is:
1) Can the remaining two brothers now file a case in Court to declare this Sale as null and void based on the below facts?

i) The man was a totally illiterate person.
ii) He was 92 years old when he made the Sale Deed.
iii) The witnesses are very close relatives.
iv) The market value mentioned in the Sale Deed was 20 percent of the actual market value when the Sale was made.
v) The three brothers have colluded to disinherit the remaining two brothers of their share in their father's properties.

Thanks in advance.

Nominee of Immovable property

My mother was the owner of a flat in a housing society. She became the owner by virtue of being a nominee of my deceased father who was the original allottee of the flat. My mother died in 2002. I am the nominee for the flat now. I have two questions:

1. Is there a time limit for a nominee to apply for the trasnfer of the flat in his name? It has already been 8 years since her death, but i have not yet applied for the transfer.

2. As per the laws of the society, a member of the society (including spouse, dependent children)should not have acquired any property in the city. Prior to my mother's death in 1998, i had purchased a flat elsewhere and had disposed the flat using a GPA (since outright sale was not allowed). The purchaser of MY flat has yet not had the flat transferred in his name although a proper agreement to sell was executed. Now, I wish to have my mother's flat transferred to my name (since i am the nominee). Can the society now refuse to transfer the flat in my name, since i had earlier acquired another flat in my name? If so, who gets ownership of the flat. I only have one sister, who also owns her own flat.

Please guide. Thank you

court order

my grandfather died without will. My uncle was trying to sell the property of my grandfather without giving the share of my father. so father took an injucntion order. this happened 13 years ago and now both my uncle and father are no more. now legal heirs of both have decided to sell the property and take the share equally as per the law of succession. the lawyer of the buyer [who is ready to purchase the property]is asking about the status of injunction order. we dont know about it. how to cancel it? or solution to the problem.

Pls advise.

House registration and ownership

(a) My name is Mahesh. My age is 35 years. My father is 75 and mother is 65.
(b) My father has built a house from his own generated / produced income. And it is in his name now.
(c) My father's wish is that the house should go to my mother after his death and should come to me after my mother's death. This is because, I am looking after my parents in their old age.
(d) But my father says he is not interested in making a WILL due to some or the other reason. He is interested in any other alternative.
(e) I have one brother and three sisters.
(f) I am worried assuming that there may be legal possibilities / rights for my brother or sisters to go to court after my parents death to ask for a share in the house.
(g) Hence please give me a solution other than making a WILL. For example, Can the house be jointly registered in three people names, my parent's name plus my name? etc.
