Development agreement executed by your deceased father would be binding upon you 

 

2) further your father has executed POA in favour of builder for consideration 

 

3) no stay would be granted unless there is breach of contract by builder 

 

4) court fees depend upon reliefs claimed in suit

Sir of the agreement was entered by the father and he has received consideration on lieu of same the legal heirs are bound by he agreement.

In case as per agreement and evidence available no consideration is received by father as per agreement then a suit can be filed and interim injunction can be prayed pending suit.

Court fee shall be as per your share and local advocate shall guide you of same.

1. if the devolopment agreement contains clause "legal heirs are bound" then you being legal heir is also bound to the agreement,

2. if the builder breach any condition of the agreement, you can approach the concerned Court, else NO

3. if there is any dispute to the amount taken from the builder and not paid to you, you can claim the same but stay WON'T GRANTED ON ABOVE FACTS

you are advised to consult one prominent lawyer along with relevant documents to get the proper resolution,

1. It is to be seen whether your father got his due share of money or not. if yes then for fraud done by your uncle or cousins would not enable you to stop the constructions since the developer is not at fault.

2. Now there must be allocation of flats on name of your father as well. 

3. This allocation of flats in favour of your father is now going to be handed over o you and your siblings and here only the remedy lies.

4. Since the original signatories of the development agreement had died , it has to be signed signed by their respective legal heirs. Moreover the POA made by them has ceased to exist with their death and fesh POA is to be signed by you.

5. So file a civil suit for declaration for your share and injunction. Only when the construction works stops you would get your dues.

See you can recover the amount from.your brother and cousin if builder has proof of payment and there is agreement the court on this ground won't grant you stay on construction. 

The builder can seek specific performance as legal heir of father you are bound to the contract.

Mutually you can pressurise them but taking this to court will be long drawn procedure and may not be decided in your favour.

You can approach the city civil court itself for relief.

If you feel that you have been deceived by those people, you may file a suit for partition before the jurisdictional court and in that same suit you may file  a petition seeking temporary injunction against the builder restraining him from constructing or developing the property anymore till the disposal of th main suit.

The petition may be filed under order 39 rule 1 and 2 cpc.

You may consult an advocate in the local and discuss the subject matter at length.

If the money is the problem, then you may collect the details from the builder about the disbursement and issue a legal demand notice to them to give back your share in the property consideration amount paid by the builder.

If they do not comply with the demand made, you may file a money recovery suit with an application seeking an injunction to restrain the builder from proceeding with the development of the construction of flats.

You can approach the court for stay but there should be any breach committed by builder as per DA.  Without that court will not grant you stay.

On demise of your father you would be entitled to share in 2000 sq feet as per development agreement signed by your father 

 

you can execute POA only if you are given in writing of equal share in property

Lodge a complaint of cheating with the local police.

Then file a civil suit for declaration and injunction.

Your cousins seem to be in mood of defrauding your share of money and property. So take legal recourse.

Dear client 

You should approach the civil court to issue temporary injunction to builder to stop the construction unless the dispute between the parties are settled.

For that you have to put a case for share on all the other legal heirs and your uncle to get your share in the property.

  1. As per the information mentioned in the present query, makes it clear that you have equal rights like others and others have equal liabilities like yours.
  2. Yes, you can get the stay on the construction of the building by filing a civil suit before the court of civil law.
  3. Grounds will remain same as your rights have been overlooked and your liabilities have been taken wholly.
  4. Rest, you are free to call me at any time for details discussion on this issue.
