Regarding counter claim in title suit.

Our ancestral property is in Jharkhand which was sold by a third party by forging Hukumnama.

Property belonged to my grandmother and her name is in khatian and rent recipt.

my sibling filed a title suit for the said land but did not made other siblings party to the suit, 

i have been impleaded as a defendant.

my lawyer suggested to file counter claim together with w/s.

while lawyer of my another sibling whose has also been impleaded as a defendant said file separately.

 

my questions are now :

what would be better ? to file counter claim along with w/s or separately.

how to calculate fee court fess ? we have same prayers as plaintiff along with that we want partition, possession of said land.

do i need to pay court fees for title suit or just partition ?

Yes you can file a counter claim for staking your share in the property. 

You may have to pay 50%of the court fee to that of the plaintiff. 

You can file a suit for partition

@T. Kalaiselvan, Advocate 

Thank you sir for reply, 

what would be better ? filing counter claim within the same draft of ws ? 

or filing counter claim seperately ?

sir we are are only entitled to 1/5 of total land ! do we really need to pay 50% of total amount paid by plaintiff as court fees ? It would be huge amount.

"i have been impleaded as a defendant." What are the reliefs claimed against you?

Who are the other defendants? What are the reliefs claimed against them?
