We had a joint family. My father and uncle were living together in UP. My uncle was doing nothing therefore my father supported him throughout his life for all purposes. My uncle had done registry of some portion his inherited property in 2001 in my and my elder brothers name under consideration of some money that my father has provided him. Mutation of this registration was done in 2006 as some of village people raised objection. My uncle is having only one daughter and since last few years she is living with him. Even after death of my father we are supporting him.
During 2018 my uncle filed a civil suit on the ground that this registry was not done by him but had been done by a fraudent means. He has made a will favouring her daughter during 2016 in which he has mention of the properties he had already sold us for which registration and mutation has been done long back. He said that he never received any money in consideration.
can we take a plea under limitation act for time bar?
What should be our further course of action. The case is pending before Civil Judge(Jr. Division)
Guidance and suggestion requested.
