property dispute

dear sir,i have added few more questions for the same problem in the last paragraph.please check it out and advice me accordingly.
we have a property in delhi which was allotted to my father and his brother after partion of india against the properties of my grandfather in pakistan. the monetery amount for resettlement given to my father and uncle by the ministry of urban development was in ratio of 30% of my father and 70% of my uncle.now both my dad and uncle have expired and now the inheritants of my uncle are asking for a 70% share even though they have never entered our house for last 40 years as they are residing out of delhi.. this property lease papers clearly state that 'division of property is not allowed'..on my side we have 3 inheritants i.e my mother,sister and myself..on my uncles side its also 3 inheretants i.e one brother and 2 sisters.. now we want a settlement on the ratio of half and half on this property on the basis that we have been the only resident of the stated property for almost 40 years..my cousin wants to settle in ratio of 60% for him and wants to give us only 40%....does he have any legal right to enter a house occupied by only my family since past 40 years on the basis of illegal or legal grounds.please advice accordingly.
ALSO I WOULD LIKE TO ASK THAT IF THE THINGS GO TO THE COURT THEN WHAT SORT OF CHANCES WE HAVE OF GETTING 50 PERCENT SHARE.ALSO WHAT CAN BE THE LEAST AMOUNT WE CAN CLAIM FOR OURSELVES ON THE BASIS OF THE FACT WE HAVE OCCUPIED THE PROPERTY AND MAINTAINED IT FOR 40 YEARS,PAID ALL THE TAXES ETC..ALSO THAT ON EACH SIDE OF THIS ANCESTRAL PROPERTY WE HAVE 3 INHERITERS EACH.THAT MEANS FROM MY SIDE WE HAVE MY MOTHER,MY SISTER AND MYSELF AND ON MY UNCLES SIDE THERE ARE ONE SON AND TWO DAUGHTERS AS THEIR MOTHER HAS EXPIRED TOO.DO U THINK IF MY COUSIN DOES NOT AGREE ON 50:50 RATIO OUT OF THE COURT SETTLEMENT THEN SHOULD WE GO TO THE COURT OURSELF.BASICALLY I STILL WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHO STANDS A BETTER CHANCE IN THE COURT AND THE DECISION WOULD FAVOUR WHOM. ALSO ONE LAST THING IS HOW CAN THE FATHERS AND UNCLES SHARE BE DISTRIBUTED AMONG THE INHERITORS ACCORDING TO INDIAN LAW..ALSO CAN MY COUSIN FORCE FULLY ENTER THE HOUSE WHICH HAS BEEN OCCUPIED BY US ONLY AS HE IS THREATENING US TO DO SO...THANKS

Flat in co-op society died without will - Time-barred laws

Hi,
My Grandmother had purchased a Flat in Mumbai and she had 2 sons out of which one of them is my father. Now she didn't make any WILL but she had filed the Nomination with the Co-op Society (Area: Goregaon in Mumbai). She died some 10 years ago. My Chacha (Dad's brother - Uncle) is not claiming to the property as he has 2 other properties with him and will for sure not do so. But after his (Uncle) death, I am scared that my Uncle's wife and children might claim over the share of the property. Please advise on how can I fight back that point of time if there is any claim from after my uncle dies. What are the options I have ? I have heard of the Law of Limitation whereby this can be time-barred but not sure if this is applicable here.
Thx,
Geeta

MUNICPAL LEVIES

I am refering to Mr. Raj Kumar Makkad reply to my query on 8/11/09.
i am now confused.

My parents have got a flat in Mumbai which is non occupied. At the moment we are paying full building tax. Are we eligible for any concession on water charges or any other common expenditure.

I believe we have to share expense for security, lighting, garden, cleaning (common expenditure).

Should we paying for water chargesin full?

If yes, then how many members?

If no, would you be able to email me a copy of the Maharashtra state cooperative society by laws which apply to our situation.

Kind regards,
Naresh

Regarding custodian of property

During the year 1977 my Late father was allotted a plot measuring 220 Sq. yds in Delhi under East Pakistan Displaced Persons scheme by the govt. of India on leasehold basis. My father died 20 years back at the age of 47 years. This property was allotted to those displaced persons who came in India leaving behind their property. I would like to request you please clarify the following:-
1. Since father died intestate leaving behind four legal shareholders including widow mother, in these circumstances how the property will be distributed amongst four legal heirs.
2. Can widow mother sell her property during her life time to any one of the legal heir or outsiders or making a Will in favour of others.
3. What is the meaning of custodian of property. Whether my widow mother comes under this clause as per existing law. What are the actual rights of a widow lady on the property left behind by her husband. Please guide me on the above points keeping in view of above mentioned facts.

incorrect schedule of property

I had signed an agreement for sale in July 2009 to buy a plot for Rs.18 lacks, and paid Rs.7 lacks as advance. I wanted to take home loan for the remaining amount. But, I am not getting loan because the schedule of the property mentioned in the agreement is not matching (on one side) physically. As I cannot buy it without loan, I want to withdraw from the agreement. Can I get back my money? If yes, will he pay interest for the period for which he had used my money? And is it possible to stop him from selling the property to some other person?

Joint Agreement of father & Son..

A father and a son both have a flat in their Joint Names i.e. both have signed a JOINT AGREEMENT. The maintainence receipt comes in fathers name only.But, the son is not aware whether the SHARE CERTIFICATE issued to them from their society does bear his name with his father jointly or the share certificate has his fathers name only on it.

At present the son is residing seperately from his father because there are some disputes going on between the father and son, the son wants to know whether can the father sell the said flat alone without knowledge of the son and without any share to son? Asking for urgent reply.. Thanx
