Q: Meri nani mujhe apni jameen dan krna chahti hai

Mai up se hu meri nani mujhe 8vigha pakka krishi bhumi gift krna chahti hai kitna khrcha ayega

Advocate Payal Jain answered
Aapki nani agar UP me 8 bigha pakki krishi bhumi aapko gift karna chahti hain to iske liye Registered Gift Deed banwana aur registry karana zaroori hota hai. UP me grandmother → grandchild transfer par बहुत कम stamp duty lagti है, kyunki यह transfer “blood relation” category me aata hai.UP me gift deed ke liye generally:Stamp Duty: ₹5,000 (fixed for blood relation gift)Registration Fee: approx ₹1,000–₹2,000Misc. charges: drafting, indexing, photocopy, lawyer fee etc. around ₹2,000–₹5,000 depending on location.Total estimated cost approx ₹8,000 – ₹12,000 aa sakta hai. Exact amount aapke district ke registry office me rate verify karke confirm ho jayega. Sabse important hai ki zameen dispute-free ho aur nani ji apni marzi se gift kar rahi ho — tab registry seedhe ho jayegi.

Q: Inheritance of my great grandfather's share

There are some shares of my great grand father (HUL) which are still not claimed. In this case my grand father passed away before my great gand father. And also my father passed away recently. So am I entitled to claim those shares through court?

Advocate Payal Jain answered
Yes, you are entitled in law to claim the unclaimed shares of your great-grandfather in HUL, despite the fact that your grandfather predeceased him and your father has also now expired. Since the shares originally belonged to your great-grandfather, they form part of his estate. On his death, the property would devolve upon his legal heirs as per succession law applicable to him. As your grandfather (his son) died before him, your grandfather’s share would pass by representation to his legal heirs, i.e., your father, and upon your father’s death, to you and other surviving legal heirs, if any.Practically, since the shares are unclaimed and transmission was never recorded by the company, you will have to establish a complete chain of succession. This generally requires obtaining a succession certificate/letter of administration from the competent civil court, along with death certificates of your great-grandfather, grandfather, and father, proof of relationship (genealogy/family tree), and identity documents. Once the court issues the succession certificate, the same can be submitted to HUL/RTA to initiate transmission of shares in your favour.If there are other legal heirs in the same line, the claim will be joint unless they give a No Objection Certificate (NOC) or relinquishment. Hence, subject to proof of lineage and compliance with procedural requirements, you have a valid and enforceable legal right to claim the said shares through court.

Q: Builder not returning money, project still unapproved

Hi everyone, I booked a plot 1.5 years ago in a gated society that the builder claimed would soon be UP RERA/MVDA approved. Till now there’s no approval or development, just the boundary wall. I’ve been asking for a refund for months, but they keep delaying with no date. I’m unemployed and urgently need my money back. What legal options do I have, especially if the project isn’t RERA-registered? Any advice is appreciated.

Advocate Payal Jain answered
From the facts stated by you, it is clear that the builder made false assurances regarding UP RERA/MVDA approval and induced you to invest in the plot. Even after 1.5 years, neither approval nor development has taken place except for a boundary wall, which clearly amounts to deficiency in service and unfair trade practice. If the project is not RERA-registered, the builder is in violation of Section 3 of the RERA Act, and you can file a complaint before the UP RERA Authority seeking refund of the entire amount along with interest and compensation. Alternatively, you also have the right to file a complaint before the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission under the Consumer Protection Act for refund, interest, and mental harassment. Further, since continued false promises and delay indicate dishonest intention, you may also initiate criminal proceedings for cheating under Section 420 IPC/BNS after serving a legal notice. In your case, it is advisable to first send a legal notice demanding refund within a fixed time, failing which appropriate proceedings before RERA/Consumer Court and criminal action can be initiated for speedy relief.

Q: Legal action against my agricluture land.My Chacha stayed on this land

My Agriculture Land is on line by my name. But Chacha used by land last 30 years. Now i want to give back my land but he take stayed on land and denied to me for my land.

Advocate Payal Jain answered
As per the revenue records, the agricultural land is standing in your name, which establishes your legal title over the property. Mere use or cultivation of the land by your chacha for the last 30 years does not create ownership rights in his favour unless he proves uninterrupted, open, and hostile possession against your title, which amounts to adverse possession, and that too by a declaration of the competent civil court. Since he is now denying your ownership and refusing to hand over possession, you have a valid cause of action. You should immediately file a civil suit for declaration of title and recovery of possession, along with a permanent injunction to restrain him from interfering with your lawful rights. If there is any imminent threat of dispossession or damage to the land, an application for temporary injunction under Order 39 Rules 1 & 2 CPC may also be moved. Additionally, you may initiate appropriate proceedings before the revenue authorities for correction and enforcement of possession entries, as land revenue records are in your favour.

Q: जाली हस्ताक्षर बनाकर कोर्ट केस करना

मेरे भाई ने अपनी पत्नी के नाम से न्यायालय एस.डी.एम.मे खेत के विभाजन (कुरा बंटवारा) का केस किया जिसमें आवेदिका नंबर दो मेरी पत्नी को बनाया जिसमें मेरी जानकारी के बिना फर्जी तरीके से मेरी पत्नी के हस्ताक्षर बनाकर कोर्ट केस किया। केस में न्यायालय द्वारा नक्शा लेखपाल से तलब किये जाने पर मौजूदा काबिज दारों के कुरों को पूरब पश्चिम के बजाय उत्तर दक्षिण दिशा दर्शाते हुए गलत नक्शा दाखिल किया गया एसडीएम थाने में ,firका आर्डर न कर केस फाइल को चेलैंज करने को बोला मुझे क्या करना चाहिए

Advocate Payal Jain answered
आपको तुरन्त SDM न्यायालय में विस्तृत आपत्ति दाखिल कर यह तथ्य रिकॉर्ड में लाना चाहिए कि आपकी पत्नी ने कभी वाद दायर करने की अनुमति नहीं दी तथा उसके हस्ताक्षर जाली हैं, इसलिए वाद खारिज किए जाने योग्य है और लेखपाल से दोबारा स्थलीय निरीक्षण कर सही नक्शा तलब किया जाए। साथ-साथ, यह संज्ञेय अपराध होने के कारण आप पुलिस अधीक्षक को प्रार्थना पत्र देकर तथा आवश्यकता होने पर सक्षम मजिस्ट्रेट के समक्ष धारा 156(3) BNSS के अंतर्गत आवेदन प्रस्तुत कर FIR दर्ज कराए जाने की कार्यवाही करें। यह मामला मात्र राजस्व विवाद न होकर धोखाधड़ी और जालसाजी का है, अतः राजस्व व आपराधिक दोनों उपाय एक साथ अपनाना विधिसंगत और आवश्यक है।
