Dear Sir,
Please advise on following:
A husband made a private trust in Bombay by Will in 1951, and put the property belonging to his wife who had died in 1947 leaving a minor daughter and sons (some minor, some major) behind. Later in a suit in Bombay, this trust was declared to be a public trust and brought under the administration of Charity Commissioner of Maharashtra State. Last month the sons found out under RTI that the property belonged to their mother and not to their father. And therefore find the father to be incompetent to transfer the property of his wife (Stridhan per Mitakshara).
Questions:
1. Is there remedy available to the sons to recover the property as they discovered only recently that the property belonged to their mother and not to their father?
