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.

Dear Sir,

On your first question—adverse possession, the argument that the 12-year limitation period never began is legally ambitious but not entirely settled in your favour. 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.

Dear Sir,

The most critical issue here is the absence of a sanctioned building plan from the planning authority (BBMP or Bangalore Development Authority). Without an approved plan, the building is treated as unauthorized construction. This means the structure could be in violation of zoning laws, setback rules, or floor-area limits. In such cases, authorities have the power to issue notices, impose penalties, or even order demolition of illegal portions.

An e-Khata property is often different

Dear Sir,

From a safety standpoint, buying a property where RTC is still in the previous owner’s name is not advisable unless the issue is fully clarified. Mutation is important because it ensures that the government records recognize the current owner, which becomes crucial for future sale, obtaining loans, paying land revenue, and avoiding third-party claims. If you buy now, you may end up struggling later to get the records corrected in your name, especially if there is an underlying dispu

Dear Sir,

The most important document is the original Sale Deed of 1981, which establishes the root of title. Along with this, the buyer will expect a complete chain of title, though in your case there are no further transfers except succession. The fact that the khata was later transferred into your name and is reflected in records of the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (including e-Khata and tax receipts) is helpful, but remember that khata is only a revenue record—it does not by itself

Dear Client,
The information provided is insufficient to give a proper legal opinion, as the procedure for issuing a warisan certificate varies by state and authority.
Generally, Aadhaar of all legal heirs is often asked for identification, but refusal by one heir does not permanently block the process. You can apply by giving details of all heirs and inform the authority that one member is not cooperating. The authority may proceed after verification or may issue the certificate mentioning all

Dear Client,

Yes, in your situation it is advisable to settle the property through an amicable partition deed , because after the deaths of the two brothers the ownership has already devolved legally among their respective heirs under succession laws, and now the property is in joint ownership between multiple co-sharers.

Executing a properly drafted and registered partition deed will clearly define each person’s share, prevent future disputes, and give all parties legal certainty and separ
