Respected lawyers...advise needed.I am 62 year old unmarried lady.
1.My father purchased a land 1953 in his name which is self acquired and had no parental properties.
2.He constructed a theatre in 1960 in the land,my fathers 2 brothers asked a share in profit ,so my father executed a deed dividing the profits in to 16 shares(10 for his wife and children) and 6 for his 2 brothers fora period of 20 years.
3.He cleared stated in the deed that it is his self acquired property and he didnt recieve any income from parenteral .my father has 2 sons and 5 daughters.My father died in estate with out a will
4.in 1994 we had a dispute with my cousins (father's brother's children)they claiming that they have a share in the land too,we approached the local court
5.The court gave the judgement in 2004 diving the land in to 7 shares ,stating that they have no right in my fathers self earned property
It has been 10 years in high court..our case had not been coming to bench..they are making sure that the case is not coming on to bench...we had a lawyer but he is not working in our favour i guess
MY query is
1.How long does it take for the case to come to judgemental status...right now the case status online states that the case is in final hearing
2.what are the chances that they win the case....all the documents are in my fathers name ..even we had the link document
3.is there any good senior lawyer in hyderabad who can handle these kind of property cases
Any advise is deeply appreciated
