Dear Lawyers,
here is the scenario.
Tamilnadu location.
X (a muslim holding 30 cents) dies in 1996. His wife divorced before death.
Legal Heir certificate acquired for 3 daughters and 1 son from tahsildar.
One daughter converts to hinduism, marries a hindu and flees town. Nowhere to be found so far.
In 2007, A gets power of attorney from the remaining 2 daughters and 1 son for the 30 cents.
In 2007, A sells the 30 cents to B.
In 2007, B sells the 30 cents to me and my co-owner. All transactions done by way of paying the right stamp duty and registering the documents.
In 2014, I and my co-owner find about the missing legal heir and we immediately know that we have a big problem.
We bought the land from a relatively powerful muslim man in the society and he says" no problem, no problem".
However, we don't know what to do.
If we know the whereabouts of the missing daughter, at least we can request her to do a relinquishment deed of her rights/share towards us.
But the missing daughter is nowhere to be found. No one knows (not even her brother or sisters) where she is.
Please advise what we can do to rectify this situation and acquire her full rights/share.
Thank you very much
Kadir
