Karnataka Land Reforms Act 1974
3 years ago
Under Karnataka Land Reforms Act 1974, we are told all tenancies came to an end on 01-03-1974.
The title was transferred to my grandmother as on 24-10-1980 under Karnataka Land Reforms Act 1974.
Our confusion is, was my grandmother's eldest daughter legally correct , when she got my my grandmother and 4 of her brothers and sisters to sign and register a release deed for the gheni chitti held by in my grandmother on 13-06-1975 in her sole favor at Brahmavara registrar office when official title in RTC was registered much later in my grandmother's name under this act on 24-10-1980.
My mother and another sister were not at the Brahmavara Registrar Office on the said day of signing release deed, what does that mean about these 2 sisters rights.

Your mother and her sister can claim their shares of the property by filing a suit for partition along with an application for condonation of delay.
The eldest daughter has no right to claim the entire ancestral property when there are other legal heirs.

No, she was not right in doing so. If the property was ancestral, the other legal heirs are also allowed to claim a share of it.
Your mother and her sister can file a suit for partition (accompanied with an application for condonation of delay) against your mother's eldest sister, and claim a share of the property.
