I wish to purchase an agricultural land (in Gujarat), but the land has following complications:
1) The sale deed of the land is registered in name of Mr. Ram Patel HUF. However, the revenue records of the land (7/12 forms etc) are in name of Mr. Ram Patel personally, and not in name of the HUF. Does this create any conflict/ problems?
2) Can HUF be considered as an "agriculturist" in Gujarat - if so, to register a land in name of HUF does one need Khedut Praman Patra in name of HUF - or, would Khedut Praman Patra in name of Karta be enough & valid?
3) Mr Ram Patel, who is karta of the HUF, had two sons. One son, named Mr. Gaurav Patel, passed away 4 years ago leaving behind a wife, a minor son (8 years old), and a minor daughter (6 years old). Upon death of Mr. Gaurav Patel (son of karta of HUF), does his share in the HUF property devolve to his wife & minor children - whereby, a court permission under section 8 of The Hindu Minority and Guardianship Act, 1956 may be necessary for alienation of the minor children's share inherited in the property upon death of their father. Or, could such permission not be necessary since the karta of the HUF - Mr. Ram Patel is alive & is executing the sale deed in our favor?
