Hi- We have one of our grand fathers property which is residential building in Bangalore. My mother is elder daughter along with 3 sisters and younger brother. Now we found that my mothers brother has got the property registered u see his name showing legal heir certificate that he is the only one legal heir. Can we file FIR in police station regarding this and get criminal case filed against him?

Quick Summary

A dispute has arisen concerning ancestral residential property in Bangalore. The mother's brother has allegedly registered the property solely in his name, claiming to be the only legal heir. While filing an FIR is considered, the consensus suggests that initiating a partition suit in court is the more appropriate and effective legal remedy to claim rightful shares in the property.

Instead of filing FIR in PS file partition suit in court. against your mother brother.

As rightly suggested by Expert learned Mr. nanda, you may better file a suit for partition seeking your mother's share in the property, even though it may take a little time, that is the only remedy available before you.

The criminal complaint is only for punishing him but you may have to again file partition suit to claim your rightful share in the property with separate possession.
