Hi All
15 years ago I bought a flat in Gurgaon on bank loan - both the loan and flat were in joint names. First holder - myself, second holder - my wife. All the expenses pertaining to the property - loan payment (down payment & all instalments), construction and interiors, maintenance and upkeep , utilities, house tax etc have been paid solely by me since the beginning and wife (a full time working professional) has not contributed a single penny. Few years back my wife filed a false criminal case against me in order to force me to handover the house to her. I decided to fight the case on merits and was recently acquited by the court with remarks about false implication due to property dispute. Now, wife has gone to her parental home and I am living in the jointly held flat.
I now want to claim full rightful ownership of my flat and remove my wife's name from the ownership records. My wife is not responding to my requests.
Can you advise what are the legal options for me in this case? All the documents pertaining to the property and expenses are available in my possession including admission by wife in court records stating that her name was added by husband due to love and affection and she has not paid any money towards this property.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
Ajinkya.
