My father has two sisters. We have a small ancestral property in our village which my grandparents often told my father (karta) and his sisters that it should be kept intact and should be for public good.
I have an NGO and in 2019, my father and I (representing the NGO) entered into a lease agreement to implement education activities. Due to Covid, we were not able to start activities and we started receiving donation only in 2023.
In 2022, my father's sisters filed a partition suit in taluk court and obtained preliminary decree in 2023. In January 2024 my father filed appeal in filed in district court.
In 2023 after we received some donation we started scholarships. Now we want to set up a library in that property as it will be years till a final decree is passed. Will my father or I get in any sort of trouble if we start a library for schoolchildren? Please note we have no malafide intent as the agreement was prior to the court case and we received donation recently.
