In the push and pull of how a property needs to be distributed or whether the legal heirs have got the right share, many families and extended families get tangled in legal cases. Land disputes in India are complicated and often such litigations run into years.
We have already covered the inheritance rights of family members as laid out in the Hindu Succession Act. Despite rules, it is not uncommon to see members of a family get into a tiff and file a partition suit. Here’s a step by step outline of how to go about a partition suit in India.

It is not proper to sell a land using only patta. The sale becomes null and void if you produce legal heir certificate and death certificate. Since your mother has not made any partition deed or release deed in favor of her brother sale is nullified that is legally not acceptable. Also need to do title search in document properly.
