Rights of my brother in a property which is in my name

(Querist) 29 November 2012 This query is : Resolved 
I am planning to buy a house property in West Bengal from my own earnings. However I want to stay in this house with my younger brother.

Now I want to know whether my younger brother can ask for share in this property say after 10 years or 15 years on the ground that he was staying in the house for such a long period.

Is there any case law or provision in law which can favour my brother in asking for share in the said property which is registered in my name.

Thanks in advance.

He has no claim but long stay gives one right of occupation (though not ownership) and cannot be removed easily.

no he has no rights of ownership of property standing in your name

Your brother has no right to claim share/ownership over the property belongs to you.

He can never claim any share therein merely on the ground that he is living there with your permission.
