Property partition between christian sisters and brothers


23-Feb-2023 (In Property Law)

My grandfather (mother's father) had died without leaving a will in 1983. The land is divided into a family bungalow (where my uncle and his family live) and a smaller bungalow that was leased out to my mother in 1975 to build her own bungalow on. Her other sister is also a leasee being given a room in the family bungalow to live with her husband for a few years. On the day of their respective marriages, my mother and my father and her younger sister and her husband were made to sign agreements to accept cash of Rs 5000 and jewellery (basically their wedding jewellery) and not claim ownership

If you have signed the agreements and the agreements expressly state that you shall not claim the ownership of such property then you shall be bound by the agreement. However you can contest the validity of such agreement in court by proving to the court that the agreement was a void agreement, but the merit of such contention depends on the facts and circumstances which may differ in each case.
