About 20 years back, I purchased a flat on a relative's name. That relative has NEVER paid a single paisa towards the flat's maintenance or stepped in the flat or attended society meetings. However, the flat still stands in the name of that relative and the relative has suddenly become non-cooperative. What are my options, if any, to get the flat transferred to my name? The relative does not have a single copy of the documents of the flat. Effectively this is a Benami transaction or is it? What laws, if any, become effective to get the flat transferred to my name? Possession has always been with me. Adverse possession may not apply as I have no evidence to show adverse relationship of any kind or is there a way to get around this requirement?
