hello ,
im ranjini from chennai,my grandfather had 2 sons and 2 daughters, he registered a settlement deed(dhana settlement) in which he gave all his property to his 2 daughter and only 1 son neglecting his other son (my father) from his properties. my grandfather didnt mention any conditions in that settlement deed.based on the settlement the property was SOLD by his son and daughter.Later he and his wife(my grand mother)was isolated by their son and daughter and was left helpless.my father took care of them and recently my grandpa wanted to give his properties to my father and cancelled the settlement deed stating ,

"he was left helpless by his daughetr and son so he wanted to revoke the settlement deed".
recently he passed away.. so my query is,

1.do my father has rights to claim for the property as my grandpa revoked the settlement?
2. to what extent could the party who bought the property could object to this?

Co-Operative Hsg. Society issues

Ours is a housing SOciety at Mira Road. We will be highly oblige if you can guide us in following:

1. An ex-secretary has misappropriated a sum of Rs.1.23 Lacs in 2001-02. Thereafter he admitted in AGM and given an undertaking to repay the amount and also issued post dated cheques which were subsequently dishonored. He also stopped payment of Maintainence charges. The then Committee filed proceedings u/s 138 of Negotiable Instrument Act and u/s. 101 of MSC Act but subsequent Committee did not follow the matters and allow to lapse the matters. The o/s amount with 21% interest now increased upto Rs.6 Lacs+. He had also kept some records of Society on basis of which he goes on making allegation against ex-committee members without disclosing documents or facts. He now obstructs every society meeting and did not allow smooth functioning of Society. The condition of building is so bad that if urgent repairs are not carried out, it will be not possible to habitat after 2-3 years but Society has no funds.
a. What is the fastest and cheapest way to recover o/s from him (considering deliberate lapsing of earlier proceedings) ?
b. Whether it will be more suitable if general body first expell him from membership and then file suit for vacant possession of his flat?

2. Whether we can put up unaudited accounts before AGM and upon its approval put up audited accounts for further approval? (Accounts for last six years were not prepared by ex-committees which are now finalised, but there are some disputable matters, so we think that if the same are approved first, the audited accounts will be correct to most extent and will be acceptable to all.
