hello sir/maam,
please bear with me as the case is complicated.
I am from punjab and I am an NRI.My parents lived separately for 14 years then got back together and have now lived together for 12 years.
My mother is a doctor and owns many properties on her name.My father has ancestral property.
My father has me and my brother from first marriage and two kids from second marriage but he never got his first marriage annulled.
My mother and father favour my brother they opened up a small scale factory for him and the unit failed and since my mother had taken loan on her property for the factory so she had to pay off the loan.My mother got my father to gift her 1000sq. yd out of the total ancestral property as she said it was his fault that the factory failed
My father,my brother and my mother were trying to sell the ancestral land but they were giving my mother less share in it. So she called me up and threatened my father and brother that she'll take my share and invest in her name. I went to court for partition of ancestral property and I have won in session court and lower court and the lawsuit is pending in lower court now and i refused to give her my share.
I only came to know they were selling the ancestral land since there was dispute amongst my parents.Now she threatens to go to court and she claims she'll get 50% share out of my father's share.She told me she'll stall the sale of the property and i need the money cause my parents dont help me at all and i still have to make my house and start my family.kindly help me.
My only concern is:
1.How much share she can get out of father's share in ancestral property?
2.what does the law say about wife's share in husbands property?
3.my father had gifted 1000 sq yard of ancestral land on her name which was anulled when i went to court
she claims she can get that gifted land too.can she ?
thanking you
singh
