1) If you go as per ancestral property, you should get your share in the property see below definition.

Property inherited upto 4 generations of male lineage (i.e., father, grand father, etc.) is called as ancestral property. The right to a share in such a property accrues by birth itself, unlike other forms of inheritance, where inheritance opens only on the death of the owner.

So you have share in your father's share of property and that you can claim in the court of law.

First get all mutation records papers from the time of your great grandfather till date. So you will have idea how property is inherented and we will make your distribution share in it.

hello,

it seems that you and your sisters have seen very difficult days because of your father. from what you have told me I understand that the property is ancestral and if it is so, you too have a share irrespective of what your relatives intend to do. therefore, you have to file a suit in Allahabad itself. the papers of the property have to seen and studied thoroughly in order to fully comprehend the nature and extent of your and your sisters' share.

You need to file a partition suit for the property to get your share in the property and after partition your father will be able to sell the property on NOC by the children.

Dear Sir,

The narration given by you goes to show that the properties are ancestral properties. In case of two wives, the children of both the wives are entitled for shares. First the property will be shared equally between two wives and thereafter the respective children share between themselves equally. Thus you may immediately file a suit for partition and get interim stay in respect of proposed sale of property if any. The proforma of partition suit is as follows:

========================================================================================

PRAYER

WHEREFORE, the plaintiff prays that this Hon’ble Court may be pleased to pass an judgment and decree in favour of the plaintiff and against the defendants as follows.

a) Directing the defendants to effect partition of all the suit schedule properties by metes and bounds and put the plaintiff in possession of 1/5th share.

b) For grant of costs of the suit and such other relief’s as this Hon’ble Court may deems fit under the circumstances of this case, in the interest of justice and equity.

APPLICATION UNDER ORDER 39 RULE 1 & 2 READ WITH SECTION 151 OF CIVIL PROCEDURE CODE, 1908

For the reasons stated in the accompanying affidavit it is humbly prayed, to restrain the respondents from alienating the suit schedule properties, till the disposal of this appeal, in the interest of justice and equity.

Dear Querist

there is no ancestral property exist in Muslims and till your father is alive you have no right to the properties of your great-grandfather.

being a Muslim, your father and his sisters and brothers have only the right to the property and not you or your brother-sister.

it will be better to try to settle the matter with your father and get some share or money for your self as his wish and will and you can not claim the property as share.

Dear Querist

Before commenting, you should read the law, As per Islamic Law, there is no ancestral property or Joint family concept exist in the Muslims, the rules of inheritance is very clear that the property can be divided by the legal heir of the owner of the property, as the property is related to your grandfather or great grandfather then you are not the legal heir until your father is alive.

Alimony for your mother can be claimed if your mother has no source of income and not able to maintain herself then your mother may file a complaint under section 125 of Cr.P.C. and claim maintenance.

she may file a domestic violence case against him before the magistrate and claim the right to residence, monetary relief, and compensation under section 12, 18, 19 & 20 of The Protection of Women From Domestic Violence Act-2005

Law cannot be interpreted by the people but only by the Courts in India.

Dear, when there is no hope for you legally then why are you insist that my opinion in not good, it means you want a reply from the panelist only which satisfy you, so I am not a person who answers the query of the people without any law and logic, my reply will be based on Law and as per law you are not entitled to get anything from your father without his will and wish, legally.

If you are not able to understand then it is your problem, I cannot satisfy you by the wrong answer to your queries.

suppose I say that you can get the share from the property of your father and file a civil suit for partition or possession before civil court of area where the property is situated, and based on my information you filed the suit and pay the fee to lawyer and also deposit the court fee before the Civil Court and on the date of hearing the opposite counsel appear and argue the matter that this suit is not maintainable as per law and your suit should be dismissed, after hearing both the parties the court find that yes, the counsel of the opposite party is right and dismissed your suit, then......????????????

So it will be better to try to understand the law, Indian law and the Islamic Law both will be applicable in your case.

a person who is not caring for his family and live in adultery or having affairs and commit cruelty towards his wife and children, then there is more and other remedies are available.

remain, it was your query, it was your problems, we are here only to give our opinion if you think that our opinion is good for you then take it otherwise search for another.

Thanks for mentioning your view.

Your mother was required to file a case in family court seeking maintenance

Under Muslim law, a person can marry more than once only if he is capable of maintaining all his wives and giving them equal status

You wont get any right in your grandfather's property now. You can only claim a share from your father's 1/3 share in that property and that too after his demise and not in his lifetime

If it is ancestral property then you can claim a share in the property out of your father's share in it.

You file a partition suit to claim your share.

Before that you consult an advocate in the local and ascertain the fact that whether you are entitled for any share and then proceed legally.

Without knowing the position of law you are just blasting at lawyers who gave their opinions.

Your sentimental feelings do not have answers in law.

If you are disappointed with the online opinion then you must chide your own self for not providing correct information while seeking opinion to the legal issues.

In Muslim religion there is no term called ancestral property nor the term called coparcenary rights.

You are blaming your father, the lawyers, the law and your own religion for one individual's problem.

Think patiently and decide wisely so that you don't suffer more loss.
