• Land from maternal uncle to nephew

Hi,

My father has a land shared along with my other 4 uncles. This land they got from our grandfather. Grandfather is deceased in 1991 and he had got same land from his maternal uncle who had adopted him since his childhood. Grandfather's uncle didn't have son so very near successor was my grandfather only. So, apparently, grandfather's uncle had different surname and we have different surname. I will explain family tree below:

Suppose A has two kids B and C, and B and C has there own kids B1 and C1, respectively. Also, B1 has kid B2, and C1 has kids C2, C3. And say, X is my grandfather who is nephew of B2, and B2 doesn't have kid.

Now problem is C3 has claimed for X's land came from B2, since X is having different surname than B2 and B2 and C3 surnames of those are matching to each other. Also, he has (C3) filed case against X for fraud in land transactions and claiming for same.

C2, that is C3's father, and X were good friends and neighbors and C2 never filed case against X for wrong doing. But greedy C3 is doing this. How should I proceed for this and what outcomes I may expect?

The entire case hinges on any document which can go on to to prove that your grand father was adopted by his maternal uncle. It also appears that your grand father's uncle made no will in favour of your grand father.

As per your own statement all the documents of land are in the name of your grand father, in which scenario the property was to vest equally in all the 5 children (including your father) of your grand father after former's death. Hence. all the children of your grand father being heirs to him have an equal share in the land. If a case for forgery of records of land has been filed then the same needs to be contested on merits. Consult a lawyer personally with all the documents in your possession.
