Daughter share

Respected experts,
I have a small thing to clarify and need your valuable conclusion.
Dispute raised between brother and 2 sisters after death of father and mother. Sisters filed partition suit in civil court and stated that property belongs to father but whereas the property is ancestral property.
and they failed to proof it as fathers property, therefore suit is dismissed. This suit was filed in 2004 i.e before Hindu succession act 2005. Now they filed appeal in high court and it is in final hearing.
Now my question is
1. can they get the share in property bcos the suit was filed before 2005 and already lower has dismissed it. now is there any chances that high court may give judgement against lower court decree?
2. both were married before 2005 and father died in 1993 and mother in 2004?
3. in lower court they stated that it is fathers property and now in high court can they ask share based on 2005 amendment
4. actually their father has sales 2 houses and amount was kept in daughters name as their share in ancestral property, as they them self asked cash. same was given at the time of marriage.so can they ask share in remaining property?
Need experts valuable suggestion and conclusion. Thank you

Owner filed a false complaint/fir to shiled their offence / quashing of the same & to get x-party-in

OWNER FILED A FALSE COMPLAINT/FIR to shiled their offence / Quashing of the same & to get X-Party-Injenction

Dear EXPERTS,

I am the tenant for a small office space in a part of the house, for fixed lease period of 3 years for 6 Lakhs on returnable basis after completion of the period(July2011 to July2014). House owner is a widow & the complete things are managed by his son-in-law.
They were asking/harassing me to immediately vacate the place from April-2013 onwards. But I told them, I need some time since I need to look for different place. But they didnot listen.

On 9th May 2013 on the pretext of discussion they called me to their house & started same old harassment & suddenly son-in-law tried to attack on me physically by closing their house doors;some how I managed to escape from their, but he chased me around few yards on the road near; Driver & security came to my immediate help & after seeing them he went back. The same day a complaint was lodged with local police; They booked NC case & advised him in the station to not to man handle me & sort the issue legally; Further to this he continued to harass me & call me on my phone; I didnot pick up his calls.

On 7th July morning he came to my house to attack on me with 4 goondas to attack on me, but on calling police, he ran-off. The same day complaint was lodged. But again police made an another NC case, without making a FIR.

But the very next day ie on 8th July 2013, they broke open my office keys & put their locks restraining me to enter into my office & also they removed my office board.

Immdediately a complaint was registered with local police, with the previous offfences, where police had made it NC(Non-Cogizable cases. A FIR was made with due pressures from higher police officers(after meeting & explaining them) under sections of IPC 341, 352, 427 & 506 on 9th July 2013. Police allowed some time for him without arresting & he surrendered in court on 12th July 2013 & took surety bail.

After submitting all the documents like LEASE DEED signed by mother in law(notarized), Office License copy(notarized), telephone bills & BESCOM bills & paid receipts, Office photo with the board, inside photos etc, eye witnesses regarding all the offences, location Mahajar, Mahajar witnesses etc they prepared CHARGE SHEET on 27th July 2013 on him.

After this I was waiting whether they will learn from their mistakes & they may allow me for entering my office; But they didnot & also they did not heed to couple of times police inspector telling them compromise. On the contrary they started harassing me falsely saying we have given the premises for rent not for FIXED LEASE for three years period, but didnot submit any documents to prove.

In the meanwhile I was operating from my house with a laptop, waiting it to be solved at station level furhter, WITHOUT FORCEFULLY OPENING MY OFFICE by BREAKING OPENING OF THEIR LOCKS, since he had appointed a private security personnel.

On 12th August his mother-i-law, owner of the house files a false complaint & FIR on me saying she is not aware of the offenses made by his son-in-law & came to know recently(10days back) about the FIR filed on him & came to know about the LEASE document I have submitted to station & says it is not signed by her & falsely fabricated by me under sections 468, 471 & 420.
She also falsely says in the complaint that from March2011 I am their for Rs7000/- rent & Rs1 lakh advance, Initially I was paying rent later on not & the rent agreement was for 2 years & I have vacated the premises overnight in the month of April 2013 etc.

On 9th May 2013,initial counter complaint by her son-in-law on me says we met in their house, regarding increase of rent but in her complaint says I have vacated overnight without informing in the month of April etc falsely fabricating.

Neither she nor her son-in-law produced any document regarding rental agreement in support of their complaint/FIR. Even after falsely filing an FIR on me 0n 12th July 2013, till date she has not submitted any documents...to their case.

When son-in-law attacked on me on 9th May 2013 at their house & he gives counter complaint we met to discuss increase of rent & also came to my house attacking me on 7th JULY2013 & vanishes before the police could turn up & on both the occassions NC-complaint has been registered in the POLICE STATION & also enterd in the station diary ; how can she state in her latest complaint that I have vacated the premises in the month of APRIL-2013(big FABRICATION & it is clearly shows-up primarily).

I have all the telephone BSNL & BESCOM BILLS/RECEIPTS after April 2013, how can I pay them if I have vacated in the Month of APRIL2013.

Also as she falsely says I was not paying rents properly; there is no definitiveness in the very statement. There is neither any complaint or notice being served by her for not paying rents???

Also there is no reason for me to leave behind Rs.1Lac advance & vacate overnight(Again flase)???

I was nowhere in pisture with them in March 2011, but they say Agreement was for 2 years from March-2011 ( Again False, HOW CAN THEY CREATE A FALSE AGREEMENT DOCUMENT SIGNED BY ME?)

On whose permission they have broken my locks & put their locks??? Have they taken any court orders to do so or have they informed local police before BREAKING opening my OFFICE LOCKS & forcefully tresspassed my OFFICE ILLEGALLY??? NOTHING IS THERE!!!!!!!

NEITHER POLICE HAVE INFORMED ME ABOUT THE FIR FILED BY HOUSE OWNER ON ME on 12th August 2013 (I CAME TO KNOW ON MY OWN) NOR THEY TAKEN ANY ACTION ON ME....

IT IS VERY CLEARLY SHOWS PRIMA-FACIE IT IS FALSELY FABRICATED.

I HAVE NERRATED ALL THE POINTS/arguements ABOVE...

AFTER 12TH AUG 2013 filing of FIR/complaint, I UNDERSTAND SHE HAS NOT SUBMITTED ANY DOCUMENTS WITH RESPECT TO HER COMPLAINT/FIR (ALMOST 10DAYS)....

KINDLY ADVICE HOW TO PROCEED..?

DO I NEED TO TAKE ANY BAIL/ANTICIPATORY BAIL FOR THIS...??

SINCE THE PRIMA-FACIE ITSELF SHOWS IT IS FALSE WITH TWO DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF COMPLAINT FROM HER & SON -IN-LAW ETC... OR

STRAIGHT AWAY WITH ALL THE VALID DOCUMENTS & EVIDENCES SAID ABOVE SHALL I MOVE FOR QUASHING OF FALSE FIR LODGED BY THEM?

FURTHER SHALL I BREAK OPEN THEIR LOCKS & ENTER MY OFFICE PREMISES & SEE WHAT MESS UP THEY HAVE MADE INSIDE MY OFFICE & TAKE FURHTER LEGAL PROCEEDINGS ON THEM ??

FURHTER FILE A COMPLAINT/CASE ON OWNER FOR DEFAMATION & ALSO UNDER SECTION 182 & 211 OF CrPC ETC.... NEED YOU ADVICE / HELP URGENTLY

The bombay stamp act, 1958.

Two Agreements for mutual transfer by way of exchange of flats were entered into on 19.10.1989 between two members of the same Society. One of the members, Mr. N. K. Nair, owner of the smaller flat (325 sq. ft / B-11)needed a bigger flat (600 sq. ft. / B-13)owned by my mother (late Smt. Saguna Bankeshwar) and vice versa and Mr. N. K. Nair agreed to pay Rs. 1.65 Lacs to my mother for equality of exchange.

Subsequently, Mr. N. K. Nair, who became the owner of the bigger flat (600 sq. ft. / Flat. No. B-13)and my mother (late Smt. Saguna Bankeshwar), who became the owner of the smaller flat (325 sq. ft. / Flat. No. B-11) filed two Applications dated 20.08.2008 under the Government Order Revenue & Forest department No. Mudrank 2007/922/C.R.199/M-1, dated 7th June 2008 (ABHAY YOJANA 2008.

On receiving a Demand Notice signed by the Collector of Stamps, Andheri, Bandra East, for payment of stamp duty, Mr. N. K. Nair, the owner of the bigger flat (600 sq. ft. / B-13), paid Rs. 18,920/- towards deficit stamp duty and Rs. 500/- towards penalty.

Surprisingly, my mother (late Mrs. Saguna Bankeshwar), the owner of the smaller flat (325 sq. ft. / B-11)also received a similar Demand Notice for payment of Rs. 18,920/- towards deficit stamp duty and for payment of Rs. 500/- towards penalty. However, my mother did not pay the said deficit stamp duty and the said penalty on seeking legal opinion that she was not liable to pay any stamp duty in view of the fact that the Agreements between the parties were for mutual transfer by way of exchange of flats / property, as envisaged under Article 32 of the Bombay Stamp Act, 1958, and that Mr. N. K. Nair had already paid the deficit stamp duty of Rs. 18,920/- as per Clause (d) of Article 25 of the Bombay Stamp Act on the market value of the property of the greatest value by reason of Article 32 of the Act, the market value of his Flat (600 sq. ft.)being greater than the market value of the flat owned by my mother (325 sq. ft).

I subsequently wrote two Registered Post A.D. letters addressed to the Collector of Stamps, Andheri, Bandra East, and also followed it up by submitting a letter / application to him (Hand Delivery and receipt duly acknowledged) for review of my mother's case. There is no response from the said Collector of Stamps or from the lower staff on even making inquiries personally.

Hence the need for expert advice on remedies available to me.
