Change of religion

Sir,
I am a 28 years old person living in Delhi nearby area and working in a reputed company in accounts department. I live with my changed identity. I belong to kanjar caste. In my whole life I never got respect from any person to whom I told my reality. I even could not get completed my education due to this caste. We have very small village in UP where only our caste people live and marriage occurs within our own caste within village. Rules of marriage are similar to muslim (except real brother sister). We have a very small population around 5000 people, there may be other people in other part of country but marriage and communication is not there with them. My whole village is disturbed due to this problem. We cannot grow like normal person due to this caste.

I am thinking of converting to Buddhism along with some my village people.

I have read about ambedkar’s conversion but I don’t know what is the situation of the people who converted to Buddhism along with ambedkar.

Please advise regarding following:
1. Should I convert or not?
2. Does change of religion will change our and our future generation life?
3. What are the pros and consequence of conversion?

Succession law

sir,
My aunty died unmarried in the year feb.2010. She has left behind some bank balance and one flat property. It is her self acquired property. Her mother and father expired in year 1960 and 1978 respectively. She has one real brother and one real sister( my mother) as legal heirs. My uncle(brother of deceased) applied for succession, in which he said the sister of deceased(my mother)has no right/claim, as she was married in the year 1950 i.e. before hindu succession act 1956.
Sir my question is, can my mother(real sister of deceased) claim property of her sister as she was married in 1950 or whether our claim will be denied as my mother (deceased sister)was married before hindu succession act 1956. Please guide. We stay in Pune(Maharashtra).

Regarding parking rights of a flat occupant staying on rent, in a co-operative housing society.

Dear Sir,

I have just signed up for lawyer's club India, website..

I have a particular issue regarding Parking in co-operative housing society.

I live in a rented flat in a 13 storied building in Kandivali (west) in Mumbai. I own a four wheeler Car. The landlord stays in Europe, and have given power of Attorney to his father in law staying in Ghatkopar, Mumbai, who signs rent agreement with me every year.

My society (Building A) is in a larger premises having four other buildings (building C, D and E).

There are 51 flats in my building, out of which only one flat (i.e. mine) is on rental basis and all the others are on ownership basis.


Each building has its own internal parking area where they have demarcated parking space. plus there is an access road connecting all the buildings, on both sides of which, parking spaces is there. The four buildings viz. A, C, D & E have formed an Apex Body which has taken up the ownership of access road and have distributed parking space within four buildings recently. Accordingly, my building (A) has been allocated four car parking to be given to its members.

Now the issue is as follows :

the society of my building (A) every year conducts a draw / lottery for allocation of parking space in its 'own' internal parking space (where approx. 27 parking space is available compared to more no. of cars). However, the society did not include my car in the lottery citing that I am staying on rental basis and all the other people on ownership basis have objected to inclusion of my name. I did not object at that time; and placed my car on Access Road where parking so far was on 'First Come First Serve' basis. If I didn't get parking, I had to park the car on main road. Similarly, for all those who didn't get parking in lottery system, parked their cars on access road if available; or else outside. but most of the flat owners had two cars; one allotted in society parking area and other placed on access road.

Recently, the four buildings made an apex body (of A, C, D & E). and took up the road and distributed parking amongst themselves as mentioned above. My society has been allocated four Car Parking Spaces. In my society (building A), there are five excess cars including mine (Excess cars are those cars which didn't get parking space in lottery system in society's internal parking area).

Ideally, the society was expected to further conduct a draw / lottery of these four car parking space, to accommodate four out of five cars including mine. But once again they did the same thing, i.e. excluded me because of my 'rental' status and distributed four car parking spaces amongst themselves because of which I had to keep my car outside the premises ie.. on road on first come first serve basis. All these four cars are second cars of their owners. whereas I have only one car. I had requested the society to consider my car in the lottery of atleast access road if not in the society's parking space; but they did not consider the same.

My question is :

1) First of all, can society allocate its own parking space (internal parking) through lottery system or it has to be on first come first serve basis? Even if society has allocated internal car parking through lottery, can they exclude tenants (ie. families staying on rent)? Don't rental members have equal rights on society's resources? Can society discriminate against families staying on rental basis while conducting lottery system? shouldn't the car be considered as the car of Flat no. xxx from which the society has been getting regular maintenance?

2) Regarding Access Road : Can Apex body of four societies distribute parking space on Access Road amongst four buildings against collection of deposit? or the parking on access has to be on first come first serve basis? Also, even if it has allocated parking space amongst four buildings, can my society allocate parking through lottery system or the parking on these four spaces have to be based on availability?
Next Most important question is : Can my society exclude me from lottery / draw of four car parking space allocated to it on the access road, & thus distribute amongst four members? Can they discriminate against tenant?


I would request you to kindly guide me so that I can protect my rights as a tenant having equal rights to 'use' the common resources of the society. I am ready to pay the parking deposit and monthly charges.

I would be greatful to receive Experts' opinion (with relevant section of any act, if possible). and what further actions can I (& should I) take?

Thanks and Regards

Maintenance and welfare of parents and senior citizens act

My father was not employed. My mother was a Govt servant and brought up me and my sister (in Chennai). My father was also living with us. My sister got married and is settled in Delhi. After my marriage, my mom couldnot live with my father and after selling her house, she has settled with me at Mysore. My father is living separately at Chennai and he applied for maintenance under "Maintenance and welfare of parents and senior citizens act". My mom had given him Rs 15.00 lacs after selling her house in 2013. The tribunal has given orders for paying Rs 2000 each by me and my sister per month (total 4000) as he has received 15.00 lacs. We are paying him for more than one year now. However my father has again applied in high court and sent a notice to Tribunal, me and my sister for appearing in High court claiming maintenance of 10,000 per month. Can someone advise how to proceed as he wants to give us repeated tortures.
