As long as your mother, brother and yourself is there, your uncle has no right in the property. As long as your father is alive, he can nominate any person to collect rent out of his property. You can obtain an injunction on the ground that your father is not well and he is psychologically unfit, taking the advantage of which your uncle is trying to usurp your property.

Since this is your fathers self acquired property you must exercise your right with confidence. Lodging a case for declaration can be an option to further confirm that your uncle cannot interfere with your enjoyment of the rights associated with this particular property.

"My father's brother collects the rent and deposits into his account which we never ask"

If you never ask him than how can he do so ?

it is not anscestral property. it is self acquired peoperty by your father so as per Hindu suddession Act 1956, your mother, you and your brother are in class 1 of the schedule (section 10 - distribution of property among heirs in class 1 of the schedule ) , if the aforesaid peroerty is intestate, your uncle has no right on this property even after the death of your father.

As your father is alive,  first, you can try to solve this matter at your home level , if you dont succeed at home level, than you can send him a legal notice and than file a suit for declaration against him with the solid proof that he is interfearing in your property without any instruction from your side.

Dear Chirag,

 

I apologize what i had writen is confusing when I said we do not ask.In essence what I meant was that as long as my father was in good health we never bothered asking how and when he used to get the rents.

Now that my father is not in teh right state of mind, being the eldest son I put a step forwrd to get thinsg under control and also most importantly I did not want my uncle to be handling and then question us as to who we are to inetrfere.

I have written thsi greviance in this forum only as home level efforts are turning futile and knowing my uncle who can be shook up legally I decided to do so.

Now my next question would be that can I have a notice sent without my father ? If yes what would be a best practice.

 

I look forwrd to your expert thoughts.

First check whether the property is registered in father name and check about who is having the sale deed documnet. Further if your father is the purchaser, I would suggest you to get a power of power of attroney from your father to manage the property to avoid your uncle getting rent from the tenant.

Dear Mahesh

Filing a suit for declaration must be preceeded by getting a power of attorney executed in your favour. Make sure you get a medical fitness certificate on the date of execution of power of attorney, just in case.

Once that is done, get a legal notice sent to your uncle. If this does not help, file a suit for declaration. I agree with Mr Chirag.
