Cancellation of partition deed & money recovery in stale cheque case


11-Jun-2023 (In Property Law)
We brothers have entered into an partition deed for our ancestral property in Delhi in the year 2020 . As they wanted to stay over there thus they gave me my share of the property by giving part payment and some Pdcs for the balance. My elder brother son has given me two cheques on behalf of his father and those cheques are mentioned in the partition deed . One of his cheques has become stale as I had deposited it in the bank in the last moment & the second cheque when deposited came back with stop payment memo. The brothers have also signed affidavits for taking care of our mother at the time of signing of partition deed but are not fulfilling their commitment. My query is that how can I recover my money and can the partition deed be cancelled and the time taken.

You can challenge the whole partition also and at the same time can seek for specific performance on the part of you brother.

As your brother was under an obligation to fulfil his duties and he did not do and tried to deceitfully cheat you, you can also file a criminal case against them.

You can also make a cheque bounce case wherein you can recover hefty interest and penalty amount from you brother.
