False Property Claim Dispute by Relative.


07-May-2025 (In Property Law)
I gave my sister-in-law ₹2.5 lakh in cash, which she repaid over 25 months via ₹10,000 cheques. Now, 15 years later, she claims the payments were for buying a property from me—one I never owned. The flat belongs to my brother and was only given to her during a financial crisis. She has filed a case in civil court, but most of the paperwork is in Gujarati, which I don’t understand, making it hard for me to respond properly. What can I do now?

Her claim needs to be contested in court after understanding the pleadings avered in the plaintiffs. You must have all the details of cash and cheques payments. You should file written statement rebutting each and every claim of her.

You should consult a good property and civil lawyer, one is responding to you here and through papers you should understand the entire set of facts and allegations levelled. Once, you came to know about the alleged transaction regarding transfer of the flat property, the lawyer would provide you with all possible remedies available under the law.
