Dear Client,

If the wife passed away intestate (without leaving a Will), then her property will devolve according to the personal succession law applicable to her religion. In most cases under the Hindu Succession Act, 1956, the husband, children, and mother of the deceased are Class-I legal heirs and all inherit simultaneously in equal shares.

Therefore, the husband alone cannot directly transfer the entire flat to the deceased wife’s mother unless:

1. He is the sole legal heir; or

2. All

Dear client,

Dear Client,

If the Debt Recovery Tribunal (DRT) passed an order directing restoration of possession subject to deposit of a certain amount, and the borrower/trust complied with the condition within the stipulated time, then the finance company is generally expected to comply with the DRT’s direction unless there is any stay or modification granted by a higher court.

Dear Sir,

It is not legally correct to say that only the surviving son alone becomes entitled to the entire property merely because the property was originally self-acquired property of the grandfather.

Thereafter, the shares belonging to deceased sons would devolve upon their respective heirs.

Grandsons may therefore claim rights

Dear Client,

In Gujarat, registration of a sale deed before the Sub-Registrar Office (SRO) may still proceed even if one co-owner’s PAN card is inoperative due to non-linking with Aadhaar, but practical difficulties can arise depending upon the nature of the transaction and the scrutiny conducted by the registering authority.

Since the property value is ₹24 lakhs, PAN details are generally required for property transactions under the Income Tax provisions. If the primary owner’s document

Dear Sir,

On the issue of relinquished lands (roads, parks, civic amenity sites): once transferred to planning authorities (like BBMP/BDA/KPTCL), your RWA cannot claim ownership over those portions. Your ownership will only extend to non-relinquished assets like clubhouse, STP, internal facilities, etc.

Under the Limitation Act, 1963, adverse possession requires hostile, continuous possession for 12 years against the true owner. The fact that entry occurred during a 10-year non-transfer/lock-in period does help you argue that the possession was illegal and void from inception. However, courts have consistently held that

Dear Sir,

Since the society has not been renewed and its members are no longer alive, the practical step is to approach the Registrar of Societies for revival, enquiry, or dissolution of the society. The Registrar has powers to inquire into the affairs of a defunct society and can appoint an administrator or pass directions regarding its assets. If the society is formally dissolved, the law usually requires that its property be transferred to another society or organization with similar objecti

Dear Sir,

The process is: establish legal heirship → apply to SRA for transfer to your mother → update records → file nomination in your name. If documents are clear and there is no dispute among heirs, the process is generally straightforward, though it may take some time due to administrative verification.
