• Opinion for redressal of property disputes

My mother in law gifted my wife a villa/house. My brother in law also got another property from his father which he latter sold . My father in law died in 2005. But my brother in law  continued to live in the house which belonged to my wife & promised to vacate the room soon.But after my mother in law's death he refused to vacate the room & went away to his new apartment by keeping the said room under lock &key & fully furnished.Now in the mean my time my wife transferred the property to me through a registered deed without any opposition. Now my question is that can I sell the house to third party?
can my brother in law throw injunction to this transaction? what will I do about the room which he kept under lock & key?I am facing difficulty to sell my house as no one is accepting it with lock.  what should i do?

it is not a valid claim . although your mother in law had gifted 50%of property to your wife she has in turn executed gift deed in your favour . as on date you are absolute owner of property and can sell the said property if you so desire . your brother in law wont get any injunction restraining you from creating third party rights in said property
