We are muslim family. My in laws have 3 sons and 3 daughters. My wife is 3rd child and second daughter of her parents. The other two daughters are unmarried and live with their brothers. My mother in law expired 5 years back without leaving any will. She had properties in her name at native place. My father in law has reportedly bequethed his property to his 2nd son with consent of other 4 childern but without informing my wife. The brother have number of properties in their own name, in the name of their wives and childern acquired from the income of a joint business which is htherto in the name of my father in law where my wife's name is also shown as share holder at 2/16 as per Mohemmedan Law but only for saving tax as no income had been distributed to her after her married since 33 years. Now we understand that my brothers in laws and sisters in laws have appropriated all the properties among themselves without even informing my wife or by placing some body to impersonate for my wife to sign on her behalf. (This is yet to be confirmed)
What course of action is available in this case. Whether RTI act to obtain full information of transactions can be of any use or should we go straight to civil courts.
