Once partition has been done between grand father and his brothers it ceases to be ancestral property

2)your uncle can sell his undivided share in property

3) under section 44 of transfer of property act co owner can sell his share without consent of other co owners

4) you father can issue legal notice to brother fir division of property. If he refuses file partition suit for division of property by metes and bounds

5)seek injunction restraining sale of property by Uncle

1. Though there is no legal prohibition on selling undivided share of the co sharer in the joint property , the buyer without physical partition of the property can not take possession of the same.

2 However since such unilateral selling undivided share of a co sharer gives rise to scramble for possession, it is advisable not to allow the co sharer in doing so.

3. To stop such selling your father should immediately file a suit for partition and seek interim injunction so no co sharer before partition by metes and bounds can sell his undivided share.

1. The land has to be divided and clearly demarcated and then one is entitled to alienate their interest over the property.

2. It has to be divided between all legal heirs of the deceased to whom the property belongs. Selling the land over which he is not legally entitled is voidable and it can be challenged.

3. The law of limitation starts from the date of the aggrieved getting knowledge about the disputed property. Advise you to not to wait.

4. File a suit for partition after causing a legal notice.

Your question: now can he sell his half of the land without dividing or without our consent?

Answer: No, he cannot sell the land without first dividing it;

Your question: In case if he can sell his half, what if he sell the half which is adjacent to road which is not fair as it's not yet divided?

Answer: No he still cannot sell half, because he may actually hold a share less than half;

Your question: As we are living in West Bengal now so we will not get to know immediately if he sells the land,later if we get to know than is there any limit that i need to claim it within 90 days of sell?

Answer: You should engage a lawyer and get a stay order on the sale of that land;

Your question: we are asking him to divide the land but he is not ready to do it, so how can we force him to divide it and as the property is on my father grandfather name so will if we send some legal notice for division will it impact them too?

Answer:

This is my advise to you:

1. You must send your uncle the legal notice;

2. You must then go to court and file a partition suit;

3. Before all of that collect all the evidences in your favour.

See your uncle can sell his undivided share but he cannot specify the portion of the land. For specific portion in his share a partition is required by consent of all heirs or by decree of the court. The rule of partition is that all heirs get equal value of property so he cannot divide it without your consent and sell a specific area of the land.

1) He can sell his share but he cannot specify in sell deed which portion of land he is selling as there is no partition of the property, So he cannot alone sell the land adjacent to road, file a partition suit before the jurisdictional civil court for the partition of the property and seek interim stay on the transfer of any share by uncle.

2) See first of all it would not be a valid sale you can challenge same within the period of the limitation.

Issue your uncle a legal notice calling him for partition of land and to refrain from selling the property otherwise he shall be liable for prosecution.

3) See the limitation in this case is 3 years but it will be better that file suit of partition now only with an stay application as after sell the issue will become complicated as third party interest will be created so better to partition the property beforehand . If your uncle agree you all can carry out a partition by mutual consent and can make partition deed diving property by meats and bounds.

4)Partition suit can be filed all the interested legal heirs shall be made party further is father grandfather alive??

- No, ancestral property cannot be sold without consent of successors , even if , the successors are not major.

- If , the successors are minor , their consent through the court is mandatory.

- If, the property sold without consent then it can be reclaimed.

Hence, it is very clear that your uncle cannot sell a portion without consent of other successors, because as per law , you father also has his undivided share in the ancestral property.

Further , none can claim his exclusive ownership of the land without a partition.

Better, issue a legal notice to your uncle on behalf of your father , thereby ask a share in the property and further warn him not to dispose the property against the wishes of your father.Further also narrate ,that if he is going to do any act against the law of the land, he will have to face the consequences of legal battling including the purchaser as legally that sale will be not completed in the eye of law.

If, within 15 days of time , there is no response from your uncle , then you should file a suit for partition and Injunction.

Court will pass order against your uncle for restraining to sell the property on the first date of hearing.

Good luck,

1. No he cannot sell that. File Suit for Permanent Injunction to make sure of that.

2. No, you will have to file A suit for Cancellation in case the Sale Deed is executed.

3. You might not get to know in that regard. In case you want to know the present Status, Check up with Local SDM office and see accordingly.

1. If he has a rightful share in the proeprty and the buyer is ready to buy his undivided share 9n the proeprty, your paternal uncle can sell his undivided share in the proeprty without making any demarcation untils there is a proper partition.

The buyer can later make partition with his cosharer.

2. He cannot sell a particular portion of the property, he can blindly sell the undivided share till it is not partitioned between them.

3. You can file a partition suit with an application for injunction seeking to restrain him from alienating the proeprty or encumbering it in any manner till the disposal of the partition suit.

4. You can file a partition suit and follow further procedures as explained above.

Sir, undivided property can be sold up-to his share. I mean to say that no one can sell the entire properties

Firslty, there is no right which has been given to any coparcener to alienate the property without even permission of the others.

Secondly, you can very well stop him by filing a suit for permanent and temporary injunction to not to sell the property till the time of disposal of the case.

Thirdly, you should also file a suit for division in the property, but before that take the succession certificate/legal heir to show you interest plus right in the property.

1) He can sell has share of land. Here you want to protect your piece of land so that won't get disturb.

2) Do not wait for 90 days you can make big notice board that can be read from 60 feet distance. That this property belongs to you and any trespassers will be booked for legal action and put survey number, land area and your name.

not without partition.
