Dear Sir,
My anwsers are as follows:
1. Is there a provision legally for D2 & D3 to file a FRESH SUIT demanding EQUAL SHARE in the entire property (after 10 years of accepting Compromise Decree)?
Ans: Yes, then can file as the properties are still in the name of S1 and it shows the earlier compromise decree never acted upon and it remained as Paper Decree.
2. Since legally D2 & D3 have signed in person for COMPROMISE Decree, will it be possible for the court to accept D2 & D3’s fresh request?
Ans: though it was signed but such decree never seen the light of a day that is not acted upon and no entries in the revenue office accepted as per such decree.
3. Since the entire property is still in the name of S1 & UNDIVIDED, will this point be an advantage for D2 & D3 to claim EQUAL SHARE?
Ans: Yes, certainly.
4. Will recent Judgments for Equal Share for Daughter’s be an added advantage for D2 & D3 to claim EQUAL SHARE in the entire property?
Ans: Yes, definitely.
5. If at all D2 & D3 cannot file a fresh suit, can their SON’s file in favour of their Mother for EQUAL SHARE stating that their Uncle’s have cheated & threatened their Mother.
Ans: Yes, definitely if D2 and D3 are died. D2 and D3 or their legal heirs may implead themselves in the suit filed by D1, if still pending. The limitation to file a partition is 12 years.
====================================
LIMITATION 12 YEARS FOR FILING SUIT FOR PARTITION
ARTICLE 106 OF LIMITATION ACT
When suit for partition will become barred by limitation?
Article
106 of the Limitation Act provides for period of 12 years limitation for a
distributive share of the property of intestate against other person illegally
charged with the duty of distributing the estate. Time begins under Article 106
when the legacy and share becomes payable or deliverable. Under Article 110 of
scheduleI of the Limitation Act, suit has to be filed within 12 years by a person
excluded from joint family property to enforce a right therein which time
commences when the exclusion becomes known to the plaintiff. Even if it is the
case of the plaintiff that he was deprived of property of the deceased father by
first defendant is concerned, Article106 of scheduleI to the Limitation Act
would be attracted. Consent award was declared on 15th April 1986. Decree in
terms of consent award was passed in 1991 whereas suit is filed on 6th April
2011. Prayer (b) thus in my view is on the face of it barred by law of limitation.
