I got the property (a flat with hoding no. A) of my deceased mother through a registered will which got also probated in the district Court. This flat had also been mutated in my name in July 2017 with a fresh holding number (A/1) after I cleared the house tax of Flat A for the 1st quarter ( April - June, 2017). I had been regularly paying the house tax since 2017 till date and got "a no dues certificate" from my concerned municipality. Suddenly, I started receiving the outstanding tax for flat A in the name of my mother who expired in 2014.
My humble question is to know how a property A got mutated in my name with fresh holding number A/1 when there were outstanding tax for Flat A. As far as I know a property can be mutated if and only if there was no outstanding tax of the previous owner. Seeking your considered opinion.

What is leave and license and if I make this agreement, can the party sell or take possession of my property? If not, can I make this agreement for 3 years and if there is some dispute between me and that party? If so, can I cancel the agreement and return her deposit and leave? I want to give the ground floor and I will live above, will there be any problem with this?

Party1 is my (Male, 50) family, and the counterparty (father, mother, my late brother family). No sister. Party and Counterparty are resident of Hinjewadi, Pune but originally from Bihar. My mother is abusive to relatives, elders, her uncle, or anyone not obeying her including husband. I have call record (digital copy) of my late brother to prove she is abusive and beats her husband. She pressure on everyone except my immediate family.
Four years ago, we sold an Ancestral property (Bihar City) based on written family arrangement (20% to each son, and 30% on father name with my son as exclusive nominee, 30% to mother with my brother’s son as exclusive nominee). Tax return, subsequent calls(digital records with me) all are in accordance with that, and family members, particularly my father frequently appreciated it.
Six months ago, I agreed to the sale of other Ancestral property in Bihar village on the condition that the sale would be done as per earlier family arrangement. Furthermore, when my father was in good health, he wrote a separate plan on a paper stating 50-50 split between two sons with a small gift deed to a helper, which all of us had agreed verbally. (Have his call record, confirm 50-50 split).Helper gift deed done by father recently, as per plan.
Four weeks ago, my mother fought with me and tried to frame me in false criminal case and usurp all properties as a revenge to not obey her. The counter party (my father under pressure I assume) joined and planning to deprive me of my rights. Counter party received advance payment in joint account despite my objections (to them and also to buyer).
Helper (gift deed) , buyers of property all confirmed on call (I have records) that it was to be 50-50 between brothers, payment was supposed to be at time of registration.
My lawyer served counterparty with a notice for criminal breach. In their reply, counter party lawyer offered me 1/4 as a charity (without any liability to them) once sales is registered. They falsely claimed that I have received excess payment for previous City ancestral property deal as I was in need (false). Just now, I have responded with transcript of all calls and proof, Tax records, bank transactions that all allegations are false. Money is no more important but being right or wrong so, we outright rejected their offer.
Counterparty are financially ok. I want to get exactly as per family arrangement, not a Rs more not a Rs less. In my reply/ replication, I have withdrawn my assent to the sale of village ancestral property as they are cheating. Now my father is too old, he, under pressure, may say that he won't agree to his own written plan even though he already followed it while gifting helper.
(A) Can my father insist a different distribution from agreed family plan, and his own written plan, verbal agreement (recorded)? Or he can not deny for this village property under discussion but, he can insist 1/3 to me for all remaining Ancestral property? (Note: as said above, he made a gift from this village ancestral property as per his written plan which is allowed if coparcener agreed. My approval was subject to following full written plan.
(B) My lawyers is saying (1) my case is good for criminal breach (2) But first file for injunction ( go to village, 2000km from Pune) as per rights. But if it is injunction, I want to seek not 1/3 but as per family arrangements. If court accepts 1/3 only, I do not want to injunction, but file file criminal case. I have few dozen call records, two signed documents etc to prove my point. Kindly suggest best course.
(C) My lawyer says that I can file criminal case in Pune as all parties are located here.
Please advise on three points above. Thank you.

I am preparing to lodge a formal complaint with the Bar Council against an advocate who sent me a legal notice on behalf of my tenant, demanding an amount equivalent to 150 years' rent for repairs and renovations. A large portion of this expense is time-barred, as it refers to a supposed oral agreement made 25 years ago with my late father, after which the tenant remained silent until now. Despite my reply to the notice—clarifying that the claims are baseless and requesting a withdrawal—I have received no response. I intend to proceed with the complaint even though I am aware that the Bar Council has historically not penalized advocates for refusing to withdraw baseless legal notices. Here are some defenses I anticipate from the advocate: Good Faith Defense: The advocate may argue that they acted in good faith based on the tenant’s instructions and were unaware of any fabrications or violations of Rules 4 and 5 of the Bar Council. Client's Instructions: They might claim they are not responsible for verifying the accuracy of the client’s claims and are simply representing their interests, suggesting that they should not be held liable for potential fabrications. Ambiguity in Rules: The advocate could challenge the interpretation of Rules 4 and 5, arguing that there is no clear precedent that directly applies to this case, thus weakening my claims of professional misconduct. Lack of Precedent for Penalties: The advocate might highlight that no one has been penalized under these rules in the past, attempting to downplay the seriousness of the allegations. I would greatly appreciate your insights on how to effectively counter these defenses. Any suggestions for strengthening my case or additional angles I could explore would be invaluable. Thank you in advance for your guidance. P.S. I want to check out response of multiple advocates, so do not chose RESOLVED option after airing your views.
P.S.
With love to Mr.Kalaiselvan,
I must clarify that I did not intend for the matter to be marked as RESOLVED after your comment. My goal is to gather diverse perspectives from multiple advocates and explore all possible angles before finalizing my course of action.While I respect your opinion, I believe that stifling further discussion by marking the query as resolved prematurely prevents other advocates, who may
have valuable insights, from sharing their views. I would kindly request that you refrain from marking the issue as resolved, especially if you do not agree with the line of inquiry. Instead, I encourage open dialogue to help me fully understand the legal landscape I am navigating.
Legal matters can be complex and nuanced, and differing viewpoints are not only welcome but necessary for me to make informed decisions. I trust that you understand the importance of allowing a free exchange of ideas on such platforms.

Respected Mam,
Interest rate which was fixed in my Gold OD of Rs. 5.00 lacs is not reduced by Bank even after multiple written reminder and 2.5 month of correspondence.
Please get it reduced to the original set ROI i.e. 7.50% as per agreement, which was supposed to be fixed for 3 years.
Regards,
Akhil Verma

What if forged documents are presented by either party
Please read and opine.....What if during court proceedings it is found that forged documents were presented by either party, the Magistrate has the authority to direct the police to take appropriate action under Section 156(3) of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC). Section 156(3) empowers a Magistrate to order a police investigation if an offense is cognizable, such as forgery.
If the court finds credible evidence of forgery, the Magistrate can instruct the police to investigate the matter and, if required, register an FIR. The objective is to ensure that criminal actions, such as forgery, are thoroughly investigated and that justice is served according to the law.
This step ensures that criminal misconduct within the judicial process is addressed, preventing abuse of the legal system and protecting the integrity of the proceedings.
