Father sold ancestral property-sons filed a case

plese resond to my query..... awaiting for the responses

Then how and when they came to know about the sale? Why did not they file the case till so many years? Is Srinivasulu still alive? How much property did he totally inherit? Anyways, Without going thru all the documents and knowing all the facts, it is not proper to make comments in such cases bcoz there are many factors to be considered in details and such things cannot be properly evaluated on a legal forum. However, yes, it is an ancestral property. But prima facie speaking, you also have got a good case to defend. Engage a very good lawyer who is well versed in civil law.

Thank you Archana Madam for your response.

We do not know when they knows about this, but filed the case 15 days back, now this is pending status due to court summer holidays. Yes srinivasulu is alive and  8 acers of agri  land inherited form his ancestors , we got this info from Revenue office.

Karthik and yogesh sons of Srinivasulu has rights to claim sold property? thought it is sold 11 yrs back?

We want to fill a stong counter file and don't want to loose singel chance.

Don't worry, you will be served with the plaint and documents copies along with the summons of the case. The case will become clear only when you go thru the pleadings. Take it to a good lawyer and fight out the case.

I believe srinivasulu is only encouraging his sons to file the case.

The main problem is we purchased  the 4 acers of land by X value, now the cost of the same land is X*30 times.

Still I am not able to understand the rights of srinivasulu sons.

can they claim share on 4 acers of ancestral land? though many years were passed away?

I would like to know one thing here.

Are they eligible to claim the 4 acers of sold land?

So it means when the sale deed was executed in ur favor thru Srinavasul his one yone son was a minor. As it was within 3 months sill  Yogesh does not complete 18 yrs. 

"During the sale, Srinivasulu elder son karthik has 19 years 6 months and his younger son Yogesh has 17 years 8 months and Srinivaslu not informed to his sons about the sale.

On prelinary examination defence of minor share sons being sold by his father can be created as to was for minor' benefit., by father ie Srinavsaulu

But then how to save the entifre sale deed in ur favour??. 

Post better tabulated facts plz.....

My friend venkatesh,

The learned advocate archana told is correct. though it is ancestral property you have a good grounds to defend. Let me give some tips which are useful to you.. You have mentioned that sale proceeds were done 11 years back,....then try to prove that you are in possession from that date and drag the case to 2 more years, which results, you are in possession of  land for past 13 years and it will become a strong point at u r side.. secondly if u feel that Mr sreenivasulu provoked his heirs for this case and he is still alive,...Try to instigate a criminial compalint against him  that he cheeted you saying that he is only the absolute owner of that 4 acers land and he sold it to you..( It may be recorded in u r sale deed...Look carefully).. sothat other party come down to you. Only thing is be confident and cheerful..U will definetely win this case..Best of Luck
