Hi,
I am a member of Hindu Undivided Family and have some queries related to the sale of Devasthan land Near Satara, Maharashtra as marked below;
1. The sisters have married before 1980 are they eligible as beneficiary in the sale proceeds.
2. Are the children of deceased sisters eligible for any benefits under the sale proceeds.
3. The tillers have not tilled land for last 40 Years. How can their names be removed from land records.

First of all you need to check whether you are eligible to sell the land earmarked for Devasthanam?

5th, the land is self acquired land by whom, or was inherited from ancestors? If inherited, from which ancestors, i.e., mother's relatives or father's relatives?

Sir,
This land is in the name of Deity and given as Enaam land to my Paternal ancestors in 1862 and the duration of tenure is permanent.
The person who alloted the land was the then governor of Bombay.
1. Are we therefore eligible to sell the land under present laws.
2. I am the Chief Manager and primary tiller of HUF and the only son of my father who was the eldest.

In the case of inherited paternal ancestral property all the heirs become equally eligble for the shares of the property.
