Claim on flat as owner...possession is enjoyed since 40years

My family has been in possession of flat since 40 years whose right as owner is being enjoyed by my uncle. The said flat has been leased by MHADA in 1961 and at present it has been trasnfered in the name of CHS via sale of deed in 2001. The possession of the flat is with my father who is not a member of the society nor he is a nominee. Hence the share certificate has been issued in favour of my uncle. My uncle is refusing the transfer of the said flat in my father's name. Formerly my father used to pay rent to MHADA as he was staying in that flat. But the receipts issued are in favour of my uncle. We are also tendering the society dues but the receipts are being made again under my uncle's name. The dues are paid through cheque. My uncle has fraudulently introduced his name without informing my father at the time of purchasing. He keeps on objecting our possession now and then and alleges that he would kick us out of the flat anytime. I would like to know if there is any case law of honourable supreme court in this regard. Is there any way through which I can atleast transfer the shares in my father's name. The Society is ready to support us.

1.  IF the title-ownership is in the name of the Uncle in the CHS records (which is right), THEN there is no way what-so-ever, in anyway, in which the share-certificate-membership of the CHS can be transferred to anybody else (including your father),  UNLESS AND UNTIL THE UNCLE DIES INTESTATE AND WITHOUT ANY LEGAL HEIR, WHOSOEVER.


2.  HOWEVER, by the parameters involved in "Adverse Possession", which is by virtue of your 40 years of possession and appropraite CHS payment receipts and your bank documents,  your father & family may lawfully enjoy uninterrupted  possession and usage of the said MHADA flat.


3.  Since the flat-purchase-allotment letter bears the uncles sole name, NOW AFTER 40 long years,  you cannot say the following "My uncle has fraudulently introduced his name without informing my father at the time of purchasing",  UNLESS AND UNTIL YOUR FATHER IS ABLE TO PRODUCE DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE OF PAYMENT MADE TO  MHADA, FROM THIS OWN BANK ACCOUNT.  Everything else would be imaginery fiction, under law.


4.  IF the CHS tries to transfer the share-certificate-membership in the fathers name, (by whatever means), it will be illegal, a fraud, a forgery and all this is punishable by imprisonment.
