Absence of direction clause alloted to each co-owner

Vanya (Querist) 14 September 2015 This query is : Resolved
My father had purchased a land property appox. 3years ago with his brother (my Uncle),a distant relative and a broker(acquaintance of the distant relative).
Now that distant relative alongwith the broker are pressurising my father and uncle to sell off their share at a rate much lower than the market rate to make undue gain in their subsequent sale of the entire property.
Also we have recently come across a technical glitch in the land agreement papers. There is an absence of a clause allocating specific direction(north, south, east, west) to each co-owner of the land. Thus in this case even if we proceed to sell our share independently the broker and the relative can raise objection on this issue.
Kindly suggest the remedy.

Hi
need to read the sale deed carefully. the reason is all four of them might have been equal owners (hence no specific extent of land or boundaries of property allocated to each one of them are mentioned). please pursue the sale deed and find out whether
a)all four of them are joint owners of the property or
b)Each of the owner has a separate share of the property so bought(this happens when 2 or more people join hands to buy a big piece of land jointly and then divide the same at a later date depending on the money invested by each of them.
please pursue the document carefully and speak to a local lawyer.

Without partition, any share holder can sell his share.

Consult local lawyer and show him all the documents.
