Q: Doubt in Ownership of Property

Names of both the brothers are registered in Council as owners of a property ( a joined building from outside, with two separate internal structures of building ) and separate Tax bills are paid by both of them. But the deed has name of only elder brother as the owner of the property. Then are both of them actual owners of the property or only the elder brother is the owner of the property?Our religion is Hindu.

Advocate Bibaswan Mukherjee answered
Though i dont understand the meaning of council in which your name has also been entered into. but many a time despite of being several owners of a property the name of Only one owner in the deed. but if the other brothers are also the owner of the Property then they have to show the circumstantial evidence on the basis of which they are claiming 5hemselves as owner. In your situation use circumstantial evidence that the tax is being paid by other brothers also. You have to file a suit for partition against your elder brother claiming your share in the property.

Advocate Bibaswan Mukherjee answered
on the basis of tempting of records you cannot get the remedy of quashing the complaint, maximum you can lodge complain before the registrar of the court for the tampering of records, and you can file a revision application before the Hon'ble High court but the chance of getting order in your favour is minimal

Q: Owner cancelling the agreement in the middle of the road

Owner cancelling the agreement in the middle of the road since, he can't wait anymore and asking me to send all of his copies including signature in the sale agreement and then he will send my advance token money.Later on also told me that I have to bear the sale agreement making charges and same will be deducted.What is the right way to cancelling the deal? Why should I pay solely where sale deed has not been executed?

Advocate Bibaswan Mukherjee answered
Everything depends upon agreement which you have entered into with the owner I have to see the agreement at first then anything but. if advance money has been paid and it is written in the agreement that with non compliance of the terms of the agreement the advanced money will be forfeited then, the said condition will take effect. you have not stated about the advance money you have paid or not.
