Hi, I am the elder son of my father. I took personal loan and got my sister married. Now she has 3kids, and my father had gifted his plot of land(his own property brought,but from my salary) to my sister's husband without notifying me.
1. Can I as a son file a legal suit on this property or on my brother in law on any basis.
2. If I let go of this property, my father has ancestral agricultural property. Does my sister has right on it.can she claim it again.

Mr. Yuvjay,
Some mismatch in your story indicates as if yours is purely an academic query. The question arises, marriage of sister is arranged by loan, but the more expensive property can be purchased from your salary. There seems to be no logic.
However, if there is even a bit of reality in your story, it can be said, you made a major mistake to buy property out of your salary in your father's name.
So, why repent. He was free to dispose of the property in any manner he liked, which he did.
About ancestral property, you have not clarified to which generation of your forefathers the property relates. So, your query is faulty in itself.

This is a family discord more than a legal issue. Discuss with your father and settle the matter amicably.

Hi, sorry the repeation was a mistake.
Dear mr. dhingra, the property was purchased almost 15yrs back when i was unmarried. Being the elder, I had send money monthly to my dad to buy a piece of land which i thought will be useful for my brother for his future, as i will get my sister married by giving her jewelry. I had taken loan and arranged my sister marriage. I had left the piece of land for my brothers future use. Now the land values more after 15 years, and my father had gifted it. The ancestral property belongs to my fathers parents.

Mr. Yuvjay,
You are too late. Nothing can be done now, when everything is over. The property was not in your name to which you could claim. You will have to forget that episode now.
