Formation and registering a co-op hsg society

Dear Sir/madam,

Our builder is pushing our members to form a Co-op society and have it registered.

Need valuable advise on, are there any negative implications on members of a building if they were to form and register under a co-op housing society, would the builder in any way be able to excuse himself from being held responsible for the incomplete work and promised amenities.

Is formation of Society and registration important to challenge the builder as a registered collective body for deficiencies in service related to the completion of the building and amenities agreed.

Or is it advisable to wait until the builder completes and hands over the society.

Appreciate your kind advice.

Thanks and regards
Bhasker Thirumala

Interpretation

What is "interpretation". How to get it from high court?

There is a case pending in high court.
The verdict, I hope depends only upon the interpretation to certain wordings in my father,s will.
In the will, he has stated that the properties ( would be self acquired} that he may buy in future will devolve upon only his son,s of his second wife.

The lower court raised a question that how the testator can write about the properties which he has not at hand at the time of writting the will.

When I asked the same with the learned lawerclub , I got answers for and against this.

One of my friend suggested that there is a dealing called "interpretation" and any one can get it from the court.

Kindly advise me how to get interpretation.
After hearing from the learned lawers, I want to proceed further. Thanking you in anticipation.

What is the court fee payable? if the value of the property, cash, etc. is not known how the stamp duty is determined? Who can file and how long does it take to obtain probate?

Right of ownership based on possession and girdawari ?

Hi,

My father bought a share in a piece of agricultural land in Punjab in 1990 along with 12 others.

The other parties sold off their share to a new buyer 'A' but my father retained his share.

Eventually, the new buyer 'A' sold off his share to two other buyers 'B' and 'C'. 'B' further sold his share to 'D'.

My father did not bother about the property which was left open and un-attended for all this while. Recently he found that the other shareholders have constructed a wall around the total land and also conveniently divided it into two halves by constructing a wall within it and have also given it out further for Agriculture and for some construction related equipment parking.

I have the following questions :

1. In the deed where 'A' bought the shares of all the other shareholders, it mentions that he has been given the possession of the land. Can this be challenged on the grounds that since he only became a new shareholder, he did not have the right to be given possession unless the land was partitioned and my father given his exclusive share.

2. In all the subsequent sales, it has always been maintained that the buyer has been given the possession of the share he has bought. Does any of this stand ground ? or is it all objectionable and can be challenged

3. On a brief discussion with the present shareholders, we were told that they have been using the land since the last 9 years and have been getting the 'Khasra Girdawari'(record of harvest) done in their name and hence they have an upper hand and probable ownership of the entire land. Does this hold any merit ?

4. My father had bought a share in agricultural land. However, present day it stands as partly cultivated and partly used for commercial purpose. Can he now claim damage to the agricultural land and his share within it ?
