We have file a maintenance case against my brother, who threw us to road literalally and was troubling us a lot, thus not letting us to live a peaceful life. He has also troubled us in our ancestral property case, by signing a document that he is earning quite well and does not require any share from the property, thus we have lost our share and still fighting for the property. We have file the Maintenance suit in the year 2002, and our lawyer says, arrest warrant was issued against him since he did not appear in the court, and asked us to get his address, which was given. for 3 years Lawyer did not give the us the details properly and now after he changed the address, the lawyer asked us for his whereabouts again. now my brother is compelling us to give share in the property, (he is not directly coming, but sending persons who are coming to our house and sell the property), he has not spent a single paise towards the house, whether its tax payment, or repair charges for the house. we would like to know for how many years the maintenance case runs in the court?
