1) B2 does not have 100 per cent right on said land

2) 7 acres of land was not partitioned by B and C because suit was pending

3) on suit being resolved property could not have been transferred in names of B2 and B3 only

4) C2 can claim 3.5 acres of land as it was not partitioned by B and C

Dear Querist

as the suit property is related to A who was the absolute owner of the property, having 2 son(B&C) died intestate, hence the property should be divided between B & C which was not happen.

after the death of B & C, the property should be divided between the legal heirs of B & C.

C2 has the legal right to get the share in the property as per rule.

there may be objection on the limitation of filing suit for partition.

If the remaining 7 acres of property was fully acquired by B without giving any share to C then it would be injustice and unlawful.

C's share of properties out of that 7 acres should have been given to his legal heirs.

C2's claim on his behalf and his siblings are justified.

He is entitled to half share out of the 7 acre.

1) partition was flawed . 7 acres of land could not have been partitioned only among B legal heirs

2) B 2 can claim his share in house and other lands standing in name of deceased father

3) if C2 is not ready for any settlement continue defending the case .

4) B should file suit to set aside partition done among legal heirs of B and claim his proportionate share

B2 has been allotted with 3.5 acres, hence his claim or share in the property has been allocated

If he feels that he has not been given his due share he may go for partition suit seeking his legitimate share in the properties.
