Sell/Mortgage share of Undivided property without consent of other joint owner
2 years ago
I have joint undivided house property, i have 1/4th portion of the property, My brothers sold their 3/4th undivided share in the year 2016 to unknown person without my NOC & Consent. I have complete possession of house. Unknown person purchased 3/4th share without possession. Unknown person was after me to sell my 1/4th portion to him. But i denied so he approached co-operative bank in 2018 and mortgaged 3/4th share to cooperative bank. Co-operative bank without my consent & NOC mortgaged 3/4th share.
Now i do not know which 3/4th part bank going to auction, as there is no partition till now.
Some lawyers told me that you have right of preemption to purchase property but sale deed challenge limitation is of 3 years only. its 2021 now.
What should i do?

It is required to take consent and NOC from joint owner to sell or mortgage the property. Bank is also required to take the divided property. Undivided property cannot act as security. You can show your possession over the property and invalidate the sale of it.
You need to satisfy the court for the reason of your delay.

You can file a civil suit and can take your property back showing possession and undivided property. You can also sue bank for taking undivided property as security. You need to satisfy the court for the reason of delay.

The bigger question is how come the bank has taken the unpartitioned house on mortgage? A bank will take only a clean property as security which can be easily sold or auctioned in the market. The bank will find it difficult to move ahead with.
You can play around with bank here.
See bank will file case in DRT as per the SARFAESI Act. You can move the case in Civil Court as your civil rights will be impaired and since you are not the borrower you are not supposed to go to DRT but your property is being pulled in the case in DRT.
There will be complexity issue of jurisdiction and if you hire a good lawyer then he will play around with this and not allow the bank to go anywhere.

Agar aap ka part usme likha gya hai tab aap ko sale deed challenge karna chahiye tha ab time kafi ho gya hai isliye sale deed ko challenge nhi kiya jaa sakta hai.
Aap injunction ke liye court jaa sakte hai.
