18-Mar-2023 (In Property Law)
We belong to the Hindu religion. My mother had mortgaged our house to her own brother. We haven't paid him any till date. Now my question is can he seize the property if we don't pay and moreover his intention is clueless to us. He is having our document but not receiving any interest for it. Please tell us what he can do with his own sister's property document. Kindly help. Thanks in advance
