Dear Sir,
A plot was purchased in Chennai and the full purchase consideration was paid. Sale deed was executed and the original sale deed along with the copy of the will was handed over to the purchaser. Wen a ad was placed in the newspaper regarding the purchase, 4 people raised objection asking for more compensation. The land was jointly owned by 16 people. we tried sorting the issue personally but no positive outcome . Kindly advice how to go about in this situation. Is this a probate issue ? Taking action legally, will it be feasible? If action is taken legally, what is the time period it will take to come out of the issue as at present we are unable to enjoy any rights attached with the property.
Thanks.

Without going through all the papers / objections it is not possible to advise. Consult a local lawyer. A legal case may take 4-5 or more years in decision.

If the property was sold to you by executing a registered sale deed on the basis of Will and the original will was handed over to you, it can be said the legally the sale has been completed, however, if somebody has filed a civil case, you may have o face it, but since he possession of the property is with you, you may go ahead with the enjoyment of the property, let the case take its own ime for disposal.
