I'm sorry to hear about the legal troubles you're facing. Here's a possible defense strategy that might be helpful to you in this situation. :-
1. Challenge the Benami Transaction Claim : Under the **Benami Transactions (Prohibition) Act, 1988**, no defense based on any right in respect of property held benami is allowed ACT, 1988 - ATFP] . However, you can argue that the property was not held benami, but was genuinely transferred to your father's son with the intention of providing him with a home.
2. Present Evidence of Genuine Transfer : Gather all available evidence to show that the transfer was genuine and not a benami transaction. This could include documents, witness testimonies, and any other relevant information.
3. Legal Representation : Consult with a lawyer who specializes in property and inheritance law. They can help you build a strong defense and navigate the legal complexities.
4. Court Proceedings : Be prepared to present your case in court and defend your position against the claims made by your father-in-law's elder son.
It's important to seek legal advice to ensure you're taking the right steps and presenting a strong defense.
