dear sir,i have added few more questions for the same problem in the last paragraph.please check it out and advice me accordingly.
we have a property in delhi which was allotted to my father and his brother after partion of india against the properties of my grandfather in pakistan. the monetery amount for resettlement given to my father and uncle by the ministry of urban development was in ratio of 30% of my father and 70% of my uncle.now both my dad and uncle have expired and now the inheritants of my uncle are asking for a 70% share even though they have never entered our house for last 40 years as they are residing out of delhi.. this property lease papers clearly state that 'division of property is not allowed'..on my side we have 3 inheritants i.e my mother,sister and myself..on my uncles side its also 3 inheretants i.e one brother and 2 sisters.. now we want a settlement on the ratio of half and half on this property on the basis that we have been the only resident of the stated property for almost 40 years..my cousin wants to settle in ratio of 60% for him and wants to give us only 40%....does he have any legal right to enter a house occupied by only my family since past 40 years on the basis of illegal or legal grounds.please advice accordingly.
ALSO I WOULD LIKE TO ASK THAT IF THE THINGS GO TO THE COURT THEN WHAT SORT OF CHANCES WE HAVE OF GETTING 50 PERCENT SHARE.ALSO WHAT CAN BE THE LEAST AMOUNT WE CAN CLAIM FOR OURSELVES ON THE BASIS OF THE FACT WE HAVE OCCUPIED THE PROPERTY AND MAINTAINED IT FOR 40 YEARS,PAID ALL THE TAXES ETC..ALSO THAT ON EACH SIDE OF THIS ANCESTRAL PROPERTY WE HAVE 3 INHERITERS EACH.THAT MEANS FROM MY SIDE WE HAVE MY MOTHER,MY SISTER AND MYSELF AND ON MY UNCLES SIDE THERE ARE ONE SON AND TWO DAUGHTERS AS THEIR MOTHER HAS EXPIRED TOO.DO U THINK IF MY COUSIN DOES NOT AGREE ON 50:50 RATIO OUT OF THE COURT SETTLEMENT THEN SHOULD WE GO TO THE COURT OURSELF.BASICALLY I STILL WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHO STANDS A BETTER CHANCE IN THE COURT AND THE DECISION WOULD FAVOUR WHOM. ALSO ONE LAST THING IS HOW CAN THE FATHERS AND UNCLES SHARE BE DISTRIBUTED AMONG THE INHERITORS ACCORDING TO INDIAN LAW..ALSO CAN MY COUSIN FORCE FULLY ENTER THE HOUSE WHICH HAS BEEN OCCUPIED BY US ONLY AS HE IS THREATENING US TO DO SO...THANKS

If your cousin is threatening to enter forcefully then you should immediately enter in the court and seek stay order against him along-with filing suit for partition. You have better chances to win 50-50 share in the given circumstances.
