Q: Need advice on buying property

I am planning to purchase a flat from another person who had purchased the flat from the government. Basically the flat is taken leased from the government. Can I buy this property legally ?

Depends on the lease deed with the govt. You are advised to meet a lawyer with the lease deed and if need be to conduct a searching of the title deed through your lawyer. That should be as much safe as you can be.

File a case FIR of cheating to the local police station.

Advocate Saptarshi Banerjee answered
You have multiple remedies available at your disposal and the best part is some of it can go on parallely. That is to say you can take legal recourse on more than one front at the same time. The first one is a must and is most effective. You must file a fir and let the police do its job. Secondly the criminal proceedings will also help you in your civil actions.The two different forms of civil action available to you are through the NCLT (NATIONAL COMPANY LAW TRIBUNAL).You may either go for insolvency proceedings against his company or you may sue him as a shareholder in a case of mismanagement and oppression. In your case it sounds like both are available to you. But the best atrategy can be ascertained only after one sees the papers. You must meet a lawyer asap with all the relevant documents.

Q: What is the registration fee for adding a partner in partnership deed

how much registration fee required when add a new partner in a partnership deed

Advocate Saptarshi Banerjee answered
You cant add a new partner in a partnership deed unless it has been provided for in the partnership deed itself. You have to draft a new partnership deed then. However if the partnership deed provides for it as such then there is a particular deed that has to be executed in the prescribed format.The charges will depend on the city and the lawyer.

Q: Right of daughter`s daughter in grand mothers ancestral property

The property is an old house in kolkata which is in the mane of the mother(M) who has passed away leaving behind 3 sons & 1 daughter a long ago. The daughter was married off in the year 1938, thereafter she died leaving her daughter(X) behind who eventually also died leaving behind her daughter(Y). Now we are planning to sell the house. The question is weather Y & her husband have any claim on the property or not? If yes what should be her percentage share. We are governed by Hindu Laws.

Advocate Saptarshi Banerjee answered
It is impossible to respond unless we have a complete family chart. Under the Hindu Succession Act there are classes of relationships who qualify as heirs. You will have to meet a lawyer with the entire family chart and only then will the lawyer be able to confirm the list of current heirs in interest.
