Women's Right on Fathers Property?

Hi,

My father has 1 brother, 1 sister.(total 3 children). All of them got married. My Father's sister got married on 1980.My grandfather died 7 years before and grandmother 2 years before. . There is 13 acre land in the name of my grandfather. 2 years before we sold 3 acres (all 4 were signed- My father, his brother, sister, my grandma). The amount was divided between them. (but not equally but desirable). And my Aunt promised to my father without getting any further amount she will sign for the division between my father and his brother for the remaining land. The land is still in the name of my grand father. The problem has started once my grandma died. 

Now, My Aunt filed a case in court stating that need a 1/3 share in the remaining land.

Some more information about the land

The land was bought by my grandfather by selling a land of my great grand father and his own money.

Is My Aunt is having th rights to get 1/3 share ? We already gave sufficient amount to her.

can anyone help in this regard.

hello ss chowdhury,

Dear Shri. Chowdhary,

First thing to be understood is what assets did your father give to your 2 brothers during his life time. Whetehr that was immovable property and whether any document was executed by your father in regard to the valuable assets?

Now, as regards the sole house which as per you is left by your father is concerned, you, your mother and two brothers have right, share and interest in the same. If you are residing in the said dwelling house and your father died intestate (without executing any will) and your 2 brothers are trying to take forcible possession of the same and not interested in partitioning the house, you can lodge a complaint (formal) with police authorities informing the forcible attempts of taking possession of the dwelling house and further proceed for filing Suit for declaration, partition and seperate possession and permanent and perpetual injunction. You can in the suit, if you are residing in the dwelling house, prefer application u/O 39 Rule 1 and 2 r/w section 151 C P C for grant of ad-interim temporary injunction restraining your 2 brothers from taking forcible possesisona and ousting you and your mother from the dwelling house.

Dear Shri. Kangaraj,

As regards the portion which was sold earlier of the property which belonged to your grand father, all 4 signed- the conveyance deed i.e. your father, his brother, sister, my grandmother. That, subsequent to however neither your aunt execute deed of relinquishment nor it was mentioned in any document purportedly whereby she gave up her right and share in the property, your aunt has right, share and interest in the property. As you said your aunt was give sufficient amount already, this fact will have to be proved by way of evidence that the amount which she received was equivalent to her share and proceeds inclusive of the share she got from sale of land and as well from remaining portion for which she has filed the suit.
