My Grandmother's Father Have around 200 Bigha of Land.He have one Son and One Sister.
He did not make any will or did not divided land between son and daughter.
Son made a false warison certificate , that he is the only son and have no daughter.
He sold the land different person with that certificate.
We have collected like 5/6 such deed and trying to collect rest of the deed and challenge it to district court.
But my Lawyer says you have to collect most of the deed to fight the case.
The case will mainly for deed cancellation.
The property is of west Bengal

(say 5 deed per suit)

2)Can i make party or take action against Person who have given false
warison certificate. (Panchayet Pradhan)

3)To cancel a deed , warison certificate , deed is sufficient to fight a suit ?

You can file a single suit covering all the properties.
If any other property is discovered at a later stage, it can be added to the suit by filing an amendment petition.
Besides, since the properties sold are not binding on the person claiming partition, the sale deeds executed fraudulently are not binding of her, hence there is no need to get them cancelled, instead you can file a suit for partition seeking partition and an application seeking to declare them as null and void

Yes, you may file a suit for partition leaving it to the defendants to bring facts on record.
