A. Dear Client,
Since matters of cruelty under IPC Section 498A are related to matrimonial homes, most of the witnesses are related to each other by birth or marriage. Hence, they are the interested parties whose statements may or may not be genuine enough to be relied upon by the judges. The Supreme Court judgment on 498A passed in Surendran v. State of Kerala, 2022 SCC OnLine SC 621, reiterated the well-settled principle of law that “the evidence tendered by the related or interested witness ca ...ReadMore

A. Dear Client,
The property of the grandmother in the hands of the grandchildren is the ancestral property and they are entitled to an equal share in the said property since their birth, but from the contents of your query, it appears that the grandchildren of the first wife raised their claim to said property after a long 50 years.

A. Dear Client,
To obtain your individual share in the ancestral property, being a legal heir/coparceners you need to file a partition suit in the Civil Court for an order of partition and base on that order a partition suit should be made and registered before the Registering Authority. Reach out to an Advocate for guidance and steps.

A. Dear Client,
Both the Deed of Gift and Deed of Relinquishment are governed by the Transfer of Property Act, 1882. A gift deed, once issued, cannot be revoked, but it can be challenged in court on the grounds of fraud or coercion. The disadvantage of a Gift Deed is once a gift deed is executed, it is irrevocable, which means that the donor cannot change their mind and take back the gift property unless it is challenged before the Court. A relinquishment deed is a legal document that transfers t ...ReadMore
