A preliminary decree for family partition suit for agricultural land was passed between 5 brothers. Plaintiff and D1 are sailing together
D2,D3,D4 are against partition. After preliminary decree is passed, D2,D3,D4 went for appeal in higher court. Appeal was dismissed for default then Plaintiff legal heirs entered in to an Release deed with consideration with D2,D3, D4 and plaintiff was witness to the release deed. Plaintiff died recently. D1 died and his LRs have applied for final decree proceedings and final decree proceedings is in progress.
D2,D3,D4 have now revoked the appeal suit exparte and contesting the preliminary decree. Appealnts are hiding the fact about the release deed. The recitals of release deed clearly says the plaintiff is entitled to 1/5 th share in suit according to preliminary decree and the land which is joint family ancestral property which LRs of plaintiff is releasing through this release deed for consideration. Question is,
1. Is the release deed with plaintiff LRs is valid? When plaintiff is not party but witness? plaintiff died recently.
2. If Release deed is valid,Appealants will be estopped from filing an appeal?
3. If not valid, wat is the option for plaintiff LRs to contest the release deed. Release deed was made in 2015.

Society holding security deposit of interior work

I am the owner of the flat and society had asked for ₹10,000 security deposit for conducting interior work when I purchased the flat. There was no harm or inconvenience caused at all to any member or society.

Can I ask for interest as per laws on amount that I paid to society as security deposit for interior work carried in my flat. Amount is rupees 10,000 and on hold from last 20 months.

I have been paying monthly maintainence of society without fail from the time of possession.
Recently,I didn't paid maintainence for two months as they were not responding properly for refund of deposit and also maintainence was not being sent to me.
If any month,payment is not done - society charges 1.75% per month compounded interest. So they are asking me to pay the maintainence amount along with interest.
And denying to pay interest to me on security deposit .

What should I do?

What should i do?

Respected experts,
I have a plot of land which I wanted to sell. A buyer approached me and we had talked abut selling. A few days later he came and paid an amount in cash as booking. After that de didn't contacted me for a few months. Therefore I enquired about him in his locality. The people have told me that the person is a dalal and dishonest. I therefore called him up and told him that I am not selling the plot to him and asked him to take the money back.
But he told me that he only will buy the plot and will not take the money back.
He insisted that we should execute a Sale Agreement with him but I am afraid that by doing that I will fall in a trap.
Kindly advise what should I do now. I want to return his money back.
Thanks

Appartment built on a land with two different owners

Context:
I am buying a 3 BHK property in Dehradun. I have deposited the token money to the flat owner and currently getting registry checked by the Advocate. The building has 3 floors and 2 flats on each floor.

We noticed that the building is made on two different plots of same size and both belonging to different owners. Also the building plan document shows that owners have created separate maps for both showing two different stairs but in reality there is only one stair and one building only. Is this illegal?
