Granddaughter right on grand fathers property Granddaughter right on grand fathers property

10 months ago

Hello Sir,

In 1972,there is a agricultural land which was jointly owned by person named A(aged 60) and his son B(aged 5).
From 1972 to 2003 , this land was used by A and B only for agrictularal needs.
This land is purchased by us in 2003, through registered sale deed signed by both A and B.In 2003, B had one daugther who was only 6 years old.
Now, B's daughter is a major and B is saying that he will move to court to get the property share for his daugther, since its her grand-fathers property.

Note:
The Land is self acquired property of A. Hence, we claimed that, since it is A's self acquired property, it is not possible to win over the case.
We also said that, since both A and B have signed the document and is registred, it is illegal to even ask property share for B's daughter.

1. Kindly let us know your suggestions how to move this, if they go to court for next steps?
2. Is B's daughter sign required during the purchase of this land in 2003, even though she was a minor that time?

A.Dear Client,
As you are mentioning that the land is the self-acquired property of A, he becomes an absolute owner of his share of property, therefore he has full rights to sell his own property, his sale of property without the consent of his children is very much valid in the eyes of law.

Therefore no case to recover the sold property is maintainable nor tenable under the Hindu Succession Act
