HI,
1. I am writing in concern with our ancestoral property ina village of dist hoshiarpur punjab. The ancestoral property was divided equally amongst my father and uncles in 1987. we thereafter moved to delhi with an intent to come back later in our old age. the other cosharers sold their shares in bits and pieces.one of the 3rd buyers of such portion of the land sold by co sharers started to assert his right on our share as well.
2. the entire land was divided amongst the cosharers based on a garelu takseem to which some cosharers didnot agree and contested but the same was declined by land records office. we did not visit the land for about 10-15 years.
3. now when we visited , the entire land is covered by constructed houses and the house owners say that it has been sold to them by that same 3rd buyer.
4. it has come to my knowledge that the 3rd buyer has even got their registries done using his local influence in the then village patwari office.
5. my querry is :-
(a) according to the latest patwari reports ( fards) our share is NOT SOLD to anybody by anybody but on ground there is no open space left. those occupying the land are claiming to have registries and mutations in their names. so clearly sombody has forged documents, how can that be traced?
(b) in the meanwhile, how can the construction of houses be stayed till facts are ascertained
(c) how much would be the likely expenditure on a lawyer for such a case?
