Q: What to do if there if property dispute

My father was staying in the house of his uncle since last 30 years. After his death and his uncle's death, this property is still not gifted/ registered in our name. Although, whole family/ neighbour are aware of that this flat was given to my father as a token of love for taking care of his family. Now, my father's uncle's family members have given no objection to transfer the property in my father's cousin name to dispose off the property in full. He is giving us share which is very less than the market price. Can we oppose in the court of law without any registered documents or claim our right for right amount of share being the occupant of the said property for more than 30 years? Pls advise the legal route.

Advocate Shohit Chaudhry answered
Yes. While appropriate advise can be given only upon examination of documents, it appears that you have a good case on merits. However, this must be contested and you must stake your claim and fight for your share / market price.

Assuming it is a Hindu family, yes you can. While it may take longer and be a tough fight, it can be done. Daughters / women have a right to ancestral property. We have filed several suits for partition of Property and assisted in rights of women being claimed from their families.

Q: Friend's room partner used my credit card and not paying money now.

Hi, Good Morning!! A friend's room partner used my credit card and is not paying the bill. He borrowed the card to use for 60K but used it for double amount without permission or intimation. He was always promising to pay in one month but never paid. I had to go for settlement and paid the amount to bank. After that also I have been following him for my money and he has paid some amount and still 70K is not paid. I have recordings of what he has said to me on phone where he says how he will make the payment. Beside, he has also given me a written note signed by him that he will pay the amount outstanding. Now, he is not picking up the call. Please suggest, if the amount can be recovered and if yes How? Also confirm how much fees you will be charging for this help. Thanks & Regards,

Advocate Shohit Chaudhry answered
You must first send a legal notice and then if required filed a criminal complaint and / or a civil suit. Alternatively, pre-litigation mediation can also be attempted. The note helps you a lot. Yes, the amount can be recovered. Professional fees only on personal request.

You must respond to the case. With correct advise, you can get out of the matter by paying Rs.0/-. The law on freedom and right to employment is very clear and in favour of the employee. As long as your paperwork is fine, you have nothing to worry about.
