Hello, I had a legal issue in my own land which is 1800 sqft. We went for an advocate to take my case. He also accepted the case then he said about his fees about 25 k. I also paid his fee in a single payment . This issue happened in January 2019 before covid. After once I paid the fees he said I filed a petition against the opposite parties. I also believed him. But later by late whatever I asked him about the case there is no reply from him. Then I finally asked him what are all the works you done in my case please give me the documents proof of documents. Then only he said it is tough case I'm negotiating with my seniors . I almost waited 12 months for this case. My hope was destroyed. Then I asked him to give my fees back but he refused to give and threatening me to not ask the fees back I don't know what do and where and how to complaint on him. Please help me..

Q: Brother got his share without my approval

we have a house and some vacant land associated with that. This was bought on my mothers name. I have one elder sister (died 20 yrs before who has one son and daughter) and a brother. I am married , My brother without our knowledge got his share ( all service area land) from my mother who is not educated. In that land only, drinking water well, toilet/ washrooms are available. My father died recently and mother is living in that house with my financial support. My brother was not taking care of my father and now not taking care of my mother. Now my brother is trying to sell that land , if it is done, my mother can not live in that house without water/ toilet. Kindly advice me how to stop my brother from selling that land.

Advocate M. Sugan answered
immediately approach the court for injunction for not selling this property by your mother and cancel the settlement deed if any executed by your mother to your brother. since your mother is in that property you don't need to ask recovery of possession if not you must ask recovery of possession also with the injunction suit
