Ancestral land query

Hello everyone,

There is a Hindu ancestral/coparcenary property situated in Haryana, inherited by my maternal grandfather from his father and earlier ancestors. He was acting as the Karta of the joint family.

My maternal grandfather has four children—two sons and two daughters (all married). In December 2022, he transferred the entire ancestral property in favour of his two sons through revenue records/transfer, without the knowledge or consent of the daughters. The daughters were never informed about the transfer, and no legal necessity or family consent existed.

The daughters (my mother and maternal aunt) came to know about this transfer for the first time in September 2025, after which they immediately obtained certified copies of the jamabandi, girdawari, mutation, and other revenue records confirming the transfer.

They now intend to file a civil suit seeking declaration that the transfer is illegal, null and void, and not binding on their coparcenary rights, along with consequential reliefs.

My legal query is:

1. What is the applicable limitation period for filing a suit to challenge and set aside such a transfer of ancestral/coparcenary property by the Karta?

2. Will the limitation period be computed from the date of the transfer/mutation in December 2022, or from the date of knowledge/discovery of the transfer in September 2025, considering that the transfer was made without notice to the daughters?

Dispute between builder and landowner.

(1) My family as a landowner in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, entered into an agreement with builder for Rs 4 Crore and 2 flats as our family share in return for Re-development of our land.
However, in the registered document 'Development agreement and GPA', made in Dec 2022, only 2 flats (out of 10 flats) were mentioned as our share. Builder did not agree to mention the cash component of Rs 4 Crore in the agreement document. Builder and my family signed MOU (unregistered), made in Feb 2024, wherein our share was mentioned correctly as Rs 4 Crore and 2 flats. Till Dec 2025, builder sold 4 flats but gave only 50 Lakh. Both in MOU and Redevelopment agreement, it was mentioned that project will be completed in 18 months with 3 months grace period from the start of the project.

My question is will MOU stand valid in court? Would court understand that our share is Rs 4 Crore and 2 flats? Should I approach civil, consumer or RERA court?


(2) Another point I like to bring out is that though construction was started in Jan 2023 and is now almost completed. Builder is not getting completion certificate. In fact, he made sale deed for 2 flats and transferred to his business partner in Jan 2024. But in the RERA document, it was mentioned, incorrectly, project approved date as 20th Jan 2025 and expected completion date as 09-02-2027.

Is this legal? what is the right action for the above 2 queries as a land owner?

Self-rectification-buyer name wrong in registration plan

We jointly registered an open plot (in my and my wife’s names). In the main sale deed and the Encumbrance Certificate (EC), all details — seller’s name, our names, relations (S/o, W/o), plot details, consideration, and signatures — are completely correct. The seller’s details are also correct everywhere.

However, in the Annexure/Registration Plan, the seller’s name and my (husband’s) name are correct, but my wife’s name and W/o name are completely wrong. Instead of my wife’s name, some other lady’s name appears — likely due to a clerical or typographical mistake made by the document writer while copying.

All other details such as boundaries, signatures, and plot measurements are correct. Since the seller is not available to execute a rectification deed, I want to know if a self-rectification affidavit/deed is sufficient to correct this minor clerical error.

Will this cause any issues in the future — for example, during bank loan processing, resale, or house plan approval?

Old records

The records of a case that took place in the Munsif Court from 1980 to 1986 need to be copied and preserved for future safety. Are such old records still available?

Error in sake deed. cancellation

Vendor executed sale deed in 1964 for vacant plot in approved layout. Area of the plot comprised in 3 Survey Nos clearly shown in layout. Vendor missed area in one s.no.and manipulated dimensions of areas covered in the other s.nos. in such a way to cover total area of the plot as shown in layout. Rectification possible? or cancellation of sale deed is the solution. Both Vendor and buyer and their heirs are no more.

Ancestral agricultural land

I have ancestral agricultural land. My brother passed away 2023. Now someone forged a will and applied at tehsildar court, he gave in his favour. Now , I read will is only valid if there is legal division of property. It's not in this case. Also the will was registered post death. A fake notary will used to make it

Can a widow wife claim a her deceased husband's property

Hi All,

In a case a widow wife having a girl child, she is staying in her mother-in-law's house and taking care of her. They have 5-6 properties (all in the name of mother-in-law), and the income getting from those properties is taken by the mother-in-law and she is not giving any money to the daughter-in-law for expenses and to take care of child. Instead, she (mother-in-law) opened a joint account with her daughter (married) and kept all income in that account.

The Parents only have 2 children, a Son and a daughter. Here, Father-in-law, Son is no longer alive. The mother-in-law is selling some portion of the property without the knowledge of the daughter-in-law, and the amount received from the sale of the property is also given to her daughter.

In this situation, the widowed wife asked her mother-in-law to make her husband's portion property in her name or in the name of her minor daughter. Now the mother-in-law is saying I will not give anything to you, and she is saying I will give all the property to her daughter. Do whatever you want.

Kindly suggest the rights of the widow & Child of the deceased husband to get the Portion of her deceased husband.
Can a widow claim the portion of property of her deceased husband?
Can a widow file an injunction to not sell/modify the status of any property?
Can a widow wife claim a partition suit for her deceased husband's portion of property?

What legal right can she exercise?

Thank you all in advance.

Friend not returning money

One friend requested me to lend him some money as there is some medical emergency. I told him i have money but i am closing my personal loan. He told that lend me the money and I will pay the EMIs every month. So I trusted him and transferred 70,000.
He paid me 2 EMIs amount and then he stopped paying since a year. I requested him so many times that I also do not have money please pay EMIs but he just kept giving promises not money.
I want to know what are legal remedies for me to recover my money from him. Its over 1 Lakh for now. Please suggest me some solutions.

Thank you.
