Mother inherited parental property gifted to daughter
Mother has 1 son and 1 daughter, who lived in Guwahati. Father died long back.Mother died in 2015.The only son never took care of his mother. Only daughter got married in 1996 & mother used to stay alone in her 1st Floor. Ground floor is rented to tenants. During her old age, Since she wasnt taken care by her son and daughter-in-law & was unable to cook food and live on her own.
One day she fell down in the terrace and hurt her head.The daughter took her mother to her husbands house and started to live there.Sometimes the mother used to go and live in her own house. Mother made a will and gifted her entire property of 3 storied building to her daughter. The mother with an advocates advice made a GIFT DEED to gift the entire property in her daughters name.
The father during his service life bought a land in Guwahati, which the husband and wife i.e., mother and father decided to give the landed property bought by father to their only son. The mother constructed temporary houses and gave it for rent. Initially the mother used to collect rent but later on,the son didnt allow his mother to take rent.
The son filed a Title Suit in later part of 2013 after mother's GIFT DEED( made earlier to Title Suit).
The mother died of Cancer in May'2015 and the son didnt attend hospital to collect her body and pay bills of the hospital. The daughter paid all bills of the hospital. The Transfer of Land in daughters name was made by Deputy Commissioner, Guwahati in mother and daughters presence.
In july'2017, the judgement given by lower court in Guwahati was in Son's favour. They strongly showed HIBA,possession and showed Sub-Meter Bill(Electricity) in his name. Also they mentioned that the daughter never goes to stay in 1st Floor of the building and the ground floor is lying vacant from years. Since the daughter is a house wife without know how of Civil Laws Pros and Cons, her professional advocate hired for the case didnt show any documents related to possession of 1st Floor and Ground Floor. The Ground Floor has been rented since about 10-15 years and the tenants are using that for Godown purpose, which the hired advocate could have shown documents in the form of rented receipts etc but why the advocate didnt show , the reasons are unkown till today. The hired advocate didnt show the holding of each floors & the land tax by the daughter.The nearby neighbours also could have been call ed for witness and the witness of the GIFT DEED was also not called for witness at the court.
Now the daughter has filed an APPEAL to the Judgement in 10th August'2017 in the senior division court and also got a stay order to the DECREE.
The daughter is paying Land Tax and Floor wise Building Tax to related offices and is upto date.
I pray to kindly GUIDE.
