Dear Sir, Yes, the Deed of Settlement is duly stamped and registered. The possession wasn't handed over at the time of execution of the deed as elder brother requested his younger brother to wait till his life time. Since he passed away now, the Party B (younger brother) went for a discussion with the relatives (who are in possession) and explained the status. However they are unwilling to cooperate and vacate.
1) for gift to be complete possession has to be handed over . if it is residential property and both donor ie elder and the donee ie you and other relatives were in possession it is not necessary that donor should have delivered vacant possession to you
2)since relatives are refusing to give you possession file suit for recovery of possession as you are the owner of 250 square feet of property
1. Was tge settlement deed registered?
2. If yes, was possession of the said portion handed over to B by A?
3. If yes, then B is the absolute owner of the said 250 sq.ft area,
4. B can issue legal notice to the relatives of A asking them to vacate the said portion of the property,
5. If they refuse, B should file an eviction suit,
6. Evictin sit is expected to take years to be disposed of.
1. I suggest that do not say that possession was not handed over by A to B,
2. It may create legal complecations later on,
3. Accuse that the relatives have trespassed in to or illegaly take possession of your settled property,
4. File an eviction suit accordingly.
Hi,
1. in the present situation a suit for eviction is the legal option, which will take few years to end this dispute. For this first send a legal notice demanding to vacate the premise of 250 sqft as per the settlement deed. if not responded positively file an eviction suit
3. who are these relatives, Are they legal heirs to B. since both the parties A & B, mentioned are brothers, and the party "A " was unmarried, if he died intestate, "B" automatically is one of the legal heir of "A" and have right to his rest of the share.
2. Before initiating the eviction proceedings in the court, it is better to see whether you can call them for a discussion and reach to a settlement.
3. If the relatives are not ready to hand over the possession, you have no other option than approaching a court with an eviction suit.
1. If the settlement deed was registered in favour of B then neither A nor his relatives has any right to occupy the property as ownership stood transferred to B on the execution of the deed of settlement.
2. The only legal recourse available to B is to file a case for eviction in the court to evict the relatives of A who are occupying the property.
3. Even if the possession was not handed over to B by A at the time of execution settlement deed it doe snot impair the right of B to seek redressal from the court.
Filing eviction suit is the remedy available to B as B is the absolute owner of the property.
