Hi,
We (my family)were living in our ancestral property(of my Dad's) for the last 50 yrs. my father has got a younger brother who stays separately with his family. we were not in touch or in good terms. this is a ancestral property but no docs or records exists as such.and this is a grama natham residential land. my dad had been paying all the property tax and EB on his name in the last 20 yrs after my grandmother's death and we were in peacefully possession so far.
Now, my dad's brother is demanding a share and had initiated a partition suit in this regard at a district court. he knows very well that there is no doc exist as such and no registration done as well and not even a will exist as my grandfather died instate. .
with this state , should we be worried about?. will the court be able to create doc in this case and allot him a share just because he is a legal heir of this land that was under possession of our ancestors. how to safeguard our prperty from this case. we are a hindu family . i dont know if this case is for a matter of harassment or if my uncle really has rights to cliam his share as he projects.
