Hello Lawyers,
I want to discuss the difficulties I am undergoing due to my father. Here is my story....
I have 2 sisters who are married. My mom expired 4 years back. Later on, my family decided to look for alliance for my marriage. At that time, our house was very small and my father wanted to build a new and bigger house (His idea is to get more dowry by showing that). The land is in his name which is transferred to him from my mom. He spoke to me about this and asked me to take loan. I told him that to acquire loan, either the land should be in my name or if the house will be transferred to me, both sisters should sign no objection. He did not agree for either and he vacated the house and transferred everything to our different property (Which is in my name got transferred from my mom) and demolished current house without consulting with anyone. I didn't argue much as he won't listen and adamant to the core.
After demolition, he said he doesn't have money and asked to give him whatever I have. Upon mutual understanding, I gave him whatever my saving was and my monthly earnings which was spent only for basement lifting. He started asking me to acquire some loan to proceed further. I told him that I cannot take home loan and personal loan will not be sufficient and interest rate is 18%. He didn't care about that and kept bugging for money. I took personal loan of 8 lacks out of which they deducted previous loan balance and credited 7 lacks to me. I gave him a cheque for 7 lacks and he started to work on remaining construction and it got completed up to first floor. Again the money shortage and he started bugging for money. I don't have any source for money and asked him to complete the house with one floor and can build remaining when we have money. But he didn't accept and said he will take care of it if I don't give anything. Later, I came to know that he started borrowing money for high interest rates without my knowledge. He didn't care about the interest rate and the way to pay it back. He kept telling the merchant that he borrows money with my knowledge and I am responsible for it since I will get the house later. When I came to know this, I fought with him. But he just kept quiet and continued his borrowing activities. Meanwhile, my grandma (my mom's mom who stays with us after my mom's death) said that he is angry on me and not gonna arrange for marriage until I settle down his debts.
I have no way of settling down his debts since I don't know how much he borrowed or the person he borrowed from. Then I had to take my own way and found a girl myself and arranged for marriage which he did't like due to very less dowry. I called up all my relatives and explained my situation and they tried to talk to him. But he never listened and kept doing what he likes. Then I had to go with my decision and married the girl I chose and brought her home. Since I got married, he kept asking my wife to bring money (atleast 10 lacks) since he built everything for us to live. I told her that not to listen to him and continue her routine. He got very angry because I didn't give him money and my wife didn't bring dowry. After I leave to office, he started irritating her by saying all rubbish things and forced her to bring something from her parents. But nothing succeeded.
One day, E.B. person came and told us that the bill was not paid and he wants to take out the fuse and went off. I didn't understand why he paid the bill. I went to E.B saying I will pay the bill. But the J.E said my father purposely wrote a letter saying he doesn't want to pay bill and should not accept the bill from anyone except him. I still don't understand how it is legal to accept such letter when a person living in same house agrees to pay the bill. J.E did not agree to accept the bill from me and said even the online payment option is also disabled due to this. I spoke to my father's friends who are all in same age and they all spoke to him. But he says the money I gave is for the expenses on me since childhood and my studies and I cannot ask it back and he didn't listen to anyone's advice.
I felt very irritated and thought to move into my own property. Tenant in my property hired 2 houses one for him and one to store his materials. I explained him the situation and asked him to vacate one room for me to stay. But he refused and said my father told him not to vacate. So I had to look for a house outside for rent in which I live now.
Now, I lost all my savings and paying my loans with no reason along with my rent / expenses etc. As I pay my bank dues, either I should stay in my father's house or atleast I should get my own property vacated. I am very much confused on how to proceed and get help legally. I need your valuable advice. Please guide me on how to,
Vacate my tenant
How to get back my money that is spent to build my father's house
He is not giving me my property documents, passport, aadhar etc. How could I get this?
