Dear Sir,
My grand father was renting the land in 1945 and rent receipt available with us. My father built a house initially and running a shop and at the same time back side of our house about 90 cents land my father developed and was cultivating paddy, coconut, banana plant, Mango, Cashew trees and pepper.
My father before his marriage he allowed his sister and her husband to live in our house when they got married. They both were teachers in a primary school nearby. Without my fathers knowledge, the cunning sister and brother-in law purchase the entire land from the land owner in 1952 and constructed their own house to our adjuscent plot. When my father came to know about his purchase of land, he said the land which my father was enjoying to him only and its free to my father but for several instance my father requested him to transfer the land to his name he was giving various reasons like he has loan on the property. At later the year 1982, my fathers brother in law served a lawyer notice to my father that my father is holding 30 cents land as licensee and if interested to purchase then my father has to pay Rs 150/- per cent. My father replied thru a lawyer that my brother in law stated in his notice is FALSE. Later, 3 local member called for a meeting without my fathers consent and come to a conclusion that he will acquire balance land leaving 47 cents land along with the house. As agreed by local member committee, he put the FENCE leaving 47 cents to my father.
But months, year passed, my father requested thru the committee member to resolve the matter but failed to leagalise the matter. My fathers brother-in law had attack of PARALYSIS and died and subsequently other 2 members died. Now only 1 member is alive. My fathers sister is alive and we came to know that she has completed the WILL to her children. My father so innocent, refused to submit DECLARATION during Land REFORM ACT.
We are 7 children 3 Brothers and 4 sisters married and settled now. My father and mother they live in the disputed land. Now I am planing to come and settle with them for my retired life and to look after them becoz my father is now 80 yrs. old and mother is 72. I wanted to build a terrace house since the existing house is infected from termite.
Please advise us how to go legally and get solved the land dispute.
Thanking you,
Walter
