Hi!
My grandmother (Mother’s mother) was the co-owner of an ancestral property (land) alongwith 3 other brothers of my late grandfather.She inherited the property from my grandfather who died in 1965. My grandmother has no sons only three daughters including my mother. She died in 2008. After her death, sons of my grandfather’s brothers (cousins of my mother) by greasing the hands of lekhpal, , got that property transferred in their names. When my mother came to know about this, submitted an application alongwith all documentary proofs and the Will of my grandmother to the Tesildar. He gave the decision of transferring the property in the name of my mother and her sisters (the actual heirs). But very next day, other parties succeeded in stopping the implementation of the order given by the Tehsildar. Their plea was that the Will is fake.
Since then the case was pending in the court of the tehsildar. Two days back, the tehsildar again gave decision in the favour of my mother and her sisters.
Kindly advise,
1. Which could be other higher courts where other party can go?
2. Is there any legal way of stopping them to go to any other court?
3. Since this problem started with wrongdoing of the Lekhpal, we would like to lodge a complain against the Lekhpal. What are the possible options?
4. Will this help in settling the case once for all as only this unlawful act of his under the influence of cousins of my mother is the root cause of this problem?
Thanking you,
Sanjeev Srivastava
