Lawyers are available now to answer your questions.
as per sale deed who are the owners of land ? is it ancestral property? or bought by your 3 uncles?
if said property belonged to your grand father on his death all 10 children have 1/10th share in property
. if fraud affidavits have been filed your father can oppose mutation of property in name of 2 uncles . file suit for partition . contact a local lawyer . as to appropriate forum for filing case only local lawyer can guide you
1. Who is the original owner of this land? Was a legal recognition of your uncle's death obtained from a court of law? Is the land urban or rural? The answers to these questions are germane to decide the legal recourse to be adopted.
2. Partition through the process of court can be sought if you are able to establish your right in this property. The antecedent title of the property has to be ascertained in this regard. If fraud affidavits have been furnished then you may oppose mutation in accordance with the law. If the property belonged to your grand father then you are an equal share holder therein, in which scenario you can file for partition.
3. The proper forum for filing it can be decided only after the nature of land is known.
