1. This is a civil dispute and the police has nothing to so in this.

2.It is not clear how you father does have 1/2 share in the proeprty.

3. ANyway if indeed he has half share and he is not gering his dahre then he can file a suit for partition to claim his half sahre.

4. In the said suit seek injunction as well so he may not sell the whole land.

Dear Concerned,

If this power of attorney is registered - and even if not registered then too you can file a case for partition and possession in the concerned, civil court. You should file a case and also take a stay so that your uncle do not sell any part of this property.

Best of Luck

How did your father and his brother buy this property or own this property.

Do they have any registered sale deed on their name, if so whether it is a joint sale deed or how?

The police is not the right authority who can solve the property dispute.

You have to approach the court of law either for partition or for declaration of title.

In the suit itself your father can file another application seeking permanent injunction restraining the defendants to not to alienate the suit property till disposal of the main suit.

1. In whose name the property or your father's share of the property stands?

2. If the title deed of the said property stands jointly in the name of your father and uncle, then your father can sell his undivided and undemarcated share of the said property to a third party.

3. it is not a correct that who soever is in possession of a property is the owner of the said property.

4. The property is owned by the person in whose name its title deed stands.

You have to file a petition seeking permanent injunction to restrain the opposite party from alienating the property or trying to create any encumbrance over the property till the disposal of suit.
