1. Why would your relative transfer it to the legal heirs of your father as he won a jackpot after your father registered the plaint in his favour.

2. If you have evidence to prove that sale consideration of the said plant was paid by your father alone then you may file a suit for declaration of your title of your father and claim succession through intestate succession.

3. It is most unlikely that your relative will sign any agreement to bind himself to pay you 30k every month.

Firslty, if you wish to only take the money from him then the stand of settleimg with him a good idea.

Secondly, but, if you want to take the benefit of 90 percent as per the partnership deed then you may have to file a suit for right as per the partnership deed.

Thirdly, if they have been doing illegal then even if you don’t get it on your name then also you may be in trouble as per the partnership deed.

Fourhtly, aaj him to give money and rectify the deed of partnership.

Dear client,

As per case, you need to appoint your relative as manager of the crusher and keep yourself as owner. Give him higher salary so that he admits to be manager and admits you as owner.

Sign an agreement or memorandum of understanding which record the arrangement which you have been able to strike with your relative that he'll make some monthly payment to you. Please note that it is important that you must get this agreement duly stamped and registered.

Hi

You need to make the agreement cautiously leaving no loop hole and you may ask for 90% share legally. If he refuses, you may sue him for specific performance of contract.

Then execute a promissory note with him wherein he undertakes to pay the amount. However, an agreement wherein he agrees to pay a sum on a monthly basis may not be enforced by the court if he takes the defence of coercion, so better execute a promissory note for a lump sum amount.

Since the plant is not in your father's name, the ownership cannot be claimed on the basis of his legal heirs.

Therefore you may agree to enter into an agreement with the relative taking the amount what he may give becasue fighting in a court of law may or may not fetch any desired result.

As far as the agreement you may better consult a local advocate who may suggest you the proper format and the subject based on the prevailing situation.

In such an event you may enter into a partnership agreement.

The partnership deed may be registered so that it can be enforced in a court of law when there arises a dispute.

You may have the recitals in the deed accordingly so that it is valid when it is referred before a court of law in the event of any dispute.

Discuss with your advocate on further issues.
