This query is : Resolved
I filed Property case in 2022 from free legal services but my advocate filed it incorrectly.
Firstly, they filed possession case instead of partition case.
Second, They mention a point in the case of possession that my mother orally gave the said house to me with love and effection.
Now due to point number 2, I cannot file a partition case as we already said in possession case that my mothe gave the hole Property to me with love and affection.
In partition case we demand for one third share as we are 2 brother's.
What can we do?
I don't want loss the possession of the house. As I am living in it. My source of income is from the rent I generate from the Property.

If the suit filed is incorrect and is going to solve no purpose, you may withdraw the suit and file a fresh suit seeking the correct relief with correct pleadings and particulars.

But i also don't want to lose the possession of the Property till we solve the the division matter.
If I withdraw the possession, then other party might take over take the possession of the Property.
What can I do?

As rightly suggested already by the learned expert, withdrawing the existing suit for possession, specifically mentioning that the withdrawal is for filing a fresh partition suit, and then filing a fresh suit for partition is the right way to proceed in this issue.
The other co-owners / co-sharers, having ownership of a portion of the property, have no right to enter the property right now when the property remains undivided, if it is still under your sole possession.

In the fresh suit you can file a temporary injunction petition restraining the defendant from forcibly evicting you and dispossessing you from the property till the disposal of the main suit

The issue has been exhaustively discussed at https://www.lawyersclubindia.com/experts/brothers-are-not-giving-my-share-759436.asp.
Anyhow, you can withdraw the suit with leave of the Court to file a fresh action. You can seek the temporary injunction as suggested, but there could be no definite opinion as to how the Court would apply its discretion in granting the interim relief.
