question as to whether the tenancy is individual or joint family tenancy falls within the domain of the Civil Court

2)it is open to the Civil Court to go into the question and when tenancy right has been conferred upon a member of the family it is open to the other members to contend before the Civil Court that the said tenancy is joint family tenancy and the plaintiff is entitled to partition and separate possession of the share of the plaintiff in the said property.

3)merely because your brother signed for rjanna does not give your brother equal share in the imam property

1. That is not right, simply signing order sheet gives no right to your brother.

2. When occupancy rights are granted in your name individually then no question of joint family property.

3. You have file an effective written statement in the Civil Court denying the claim of your brother.

The following citation is similar to your case and useful to be filed before the Hon'ble Civil Court:

SRI PARASHURAM NEMANI KUDUCHAKAR AND ORS. v. SMT. SHANTABAI RAMACHANDRA KUDUCHAKAR AND ORS., after referred to the relevant provisions of the Karnataka Land Reforms Act:

"(i) The Tribunal alone has the exclusive jurisdiction to decide the question whether a person is a tenant or not of the land in question, and the Civil Court has no jurisdiction or power to decide the same.

(ii) If a rival claim is made before Land Reforms Tribunal one party contending that the tenancy rights exclusively belongs to himself and another contending that the tenancy rights exclusively belongs to himself and another contending that tenancy rights belonging to the joint family and therefore all of them are entitled to grant of occupancy rights, the Tribunal has the jurisdiction to go into the question whether tenancy rights claimed belongs exclusively to one of the member of the joint family or it belongs to the joint family, as it is incidental and necessary to decide the question of grant of occupancy rights.

(iii) If before grant of occupancy rights the Tribunal adjudicates the rival claims and holds that the tenancy pleaded exclusively belongs to the applicant in whose favour the occupancy right is granted and it does not belong to the joint family, the parties have to challenge the said order under the provisions of the Land Reforms Act only and the Civil Court has no jurisdiction to sit in judgment over the said decision of the Land Tribunal nor can ignore the said finding and record a finding contrary to the one recorded by the Tribunal in a suit for partition.

Nothing to answer further.

Yes I am Kannada speaker.

Hello,

You signing on Rajanna does not give any right to rangaraju to claim a stake in the property.

If you have the occupancy rights then there is no question of joint family property.

Regards

If your family from the ages of your ancestral are performing the Pooja and cultivating the said land, though the occupancy rights for the land is registered in your name your siblings shall have equal rights over the same.

Having said that since your case is pending for disposal before the Honourable Court you may have to wait for the judgement.
