buying a duplex

Respected sir,

i want to buy a duplex in bharuch. i have to buy it from the builder. but the issue is that the plot on which the construction is started is not a cleared one. according to builder this plot is under plan revision, so it will be cleared very soon.

when i booked that i paid some small amount to builder. he told me the plot will be cleared and then i will give him the remaining amount other than loan and then we will go for legal documentation.

but after passing 7 months the plot is not cleared, but builder started construction and it completes it upto c level of second floor. now he told me let the court matter continue, i transfer plot on your name and give me remaining amount other than loan. when plot cleared you will apply for loan and i will collect my remaining amount from bank.

so i am very confused about how to deal this issue. because if i transfer plot on my names and plan revision not sanctioned the plot then what happen?

so please guide me to deal this issue. because i never bought plot or land before. so i don't have any idea about what to do.

please guide, i will be very thankful to you.

Change in Girdawari

Hi,

I own a plot which is part of a bigger piece of land and i am the co-owner along with two others.

Recently, one of the other co-owners filed an application for changing the Girdawari in his name and also succeeded in getting the same done from 2000 onwards based on an order by the Tehsildaar (as asst collector first grade) by showing me ex-parte (using the old address on my registry)

I have the following questions :

1. Does the Tehsildaar have power to change the girdawari (Note that he has accepted the application which spans across an older jamabandi)

2. Can the Girdawari of a land-owner be changed under any circumstances if he has not consented to the same.

3. The Girdawari to start with was in the name of all the co-owners and so there was no real need to get it corrected. But one of the co-owners has now got it changed to his name for the entire piece of land eventhough he only owns a fraction of the entire piece. Does this amount to tampering of land records ??

TENANCY RIGHT

ON MY FOLLOWING QUERY I HAVE RECEIVED ANSWER THAT: BEING A TENANT FOR LONG TIME WILL NOT GIVE ANY RIGHT. IS THIS TRUE IN CASE OF MAHARASHTRA.

We are tenant since 1977. Since last 12 years the landlord is not paying any taxes or doing any repair work. we are paying the taxes [corporation property tax] since last 12 years. Now the people from the corporation has suggested us to be "BHOGAVTADAR" [MARATHI WORD]so that the bill will be issued in your name directly. Is this legal? should we do this?
At present the premises is not in used. we are regularly paying the rent to the heirs of landlord [who has expired] and also receiving receipt of the same. the premises is very old of stone is mud mortar with A.C. sheet roofing. the repair work will cost more. Is will be economical to build new one. The landlord is not ready to give it to the builder. There is other tenant also on ground floor. One shop is in closed position since 1977.
Can we loose our tenancy right as we are not using the premises? We cannot carryout the office work in present condition of the office. AT PRESENT THE PREMISES IS LOCKED.

Sale Deed made by 92 year old man with close relatives as wi

1) A man had five sons. A Sale Deed was made in 2000, when this man was 92 years old whereby he is selling a plot with house to one of his sons with two of his other sons i.e. very close relatives as the two witnesses. The old man dies at the age of 93 years old in 2001. The market value of the plot at the time of Sale was Rs. 5 lakhs, while the Sale Deed was made for Rs. 1 lakh only.

2) The man had five sons. The remaining two sons were not aware of this Sale.

3) Recently the mother died in 2009 and this is when the remaining two sons came to know of this sale done in 2000. The current market value of the plot and house is Rs. 20 lakhs.


My query is:
1) Can the remaining two brothers now file a case in Court to declare this Sale as null and void based on the below facts?

i) The man was a totally illiterate person.
ii) He was 92 years old when he made the Sale Deed.
iii) The witnesses are very close relatives.
iv) The market value mentioned in the Sale Deed was 20 percent of the actual market value when the Sale was made.
v) The three brothers have colluded to disinherit the remaining two brothers of their share in their father's properties.

Thanks in advance.

Nominee of Immovable property

My mother was the owner of a flat in a housing society. She became the owner by virtue of being a nominee of my deceased father who was the original allottee of the flat. My mother died in 2002. I am the nominee for the flat now. I have two questions:

1. Is there a time limit for a nominee to apply for the trasnfer of the flat in his name? It has already been 8 years since her death, but i have not yet applied for the transfer.

2. As per the laws of the society, a member of the society (including spouse, dependent children)should not have acquired any property in the city. Prior to my mother's death in 1998, i had purchased a flat elsewhere and had disposed the flat using a GPA (since outright sale was not allowed). The purchaser of MY flat has yet not had the flat transferred in his name although a proper agreement to sell was executed. Now, I wish to have my mother's flat transferred to my name (since i am the nominee). Can the society now refuse to transfer the flat in my name, since i had earlier acquired another flat in my name? If so, who gets ownership of the flat. I only have one sister, who also owns her own flat.

Please guide. Thank you
