Third sister is married but expired leaving behind husband and a daughter.Fourth is brother and youngest is sister who is unmarried.My parents expired in 1983 inestate leaving behind One plot in Patna , one house in Muzaffapur and agricultural land and house in village. My brother has sold plot in Patna and most of Agricultural land in village without consent of sisters. My youngest sister has filed case against brother for getting her share in which other sisters and inheritors and all the purchasers of the properties have been made parties. My wife has got notice from the court. What should my wife do to protect her share of property ? If she does not do anything will her share in the property will be treated as relinquished ? What should my wife do to get her share of property ?

Dear Rakesh,

she will have to file a written statement. If other sisters are of the same view then she can join with them and present a joint written statement.This will save you time and money.

To protect the share of your wife, in her written statement , she can inform that she had did not have any knowledge of the alienation made by her brother and can demand that she obtains her rightful share inthe  property  of her parents.

Your wife dont have any rights with respect to the properties of your parents. As per succession after demise of your parent all the properties devolved upon his legal heirs i.e., your brothers, sisters and you. If your sister made your wife as party in the suit misjoinder of party .

I am sorry for the error. Actually it is not my parents but it is my wifes parents. I am extremely sorry for the mistake . Please read My wifes parents instead of my parents.

Dear Rakesh,

since your wife's parents have 5 legal heirs, each is entitle to 1/5th share in the property.The alienation by your wife's brother is illegal and void in law.The youngest sister will succeed in this suit and to secure your wife's share that you must file a written statement to that effect.

First wife Late Smt Paragaraji given a registered will to GYANMATI for her share as she was fighting 1/2 share of the whole property of her husband(late Shri Gunjeshwari), where ever all the property is still in the name of Late Shri Gunjeshwari and all are ANCESTRAL PROPERTY.This case is pending in the NYAYALAYA UPPER, ZILA & SATRA NYAYADHISH, BASTI, COURT NO - 4 ,DISTRICT BASTI(U.P.) Awating for decision on 26 Nov 11.

Dear JaiKrishna Kumar pandey,

What is the nature of your maternal grandfather's property...? ( self acquired- bought out of own earning or received from a previous partition or inherited the said properties)

JAIKRISHNA KUMAR PANDEY (JUNIOR COMMISSION OFFICER)     23 November 2011

Respected Sir, The said property is from his father's share i.e. PATRIC SAMPATTI.

Advocate Vishnu (Advocate)     23 November 2011

As the property was obtained from partition, the claim made by smt.malti is right. All the legal heirs are entitled to only 1/5th of the property  of their father. If the same subject matter is pending before multiple courts, it amounts to res-subjudice under section 10 of CPC. I think it is important for smt.malti's legal counsel to bring this fact before the court and seek stay in other courts which do not have proper jurisdiction to try the issue.
