• Lost everything

I was adopted by my aunty when my parents passed away and took all my parent's gold and operated the bank account of my parents and minor accounts without my consent. however, my father gave half of the property just to look after us also they were receiving rent of my house for my expenses, and my aunty and her son abused me a lot but there was no one to listen to me I was 12-14 yrs old. now I am 23 and my aunt passed away and her son refused to give all my Parents Gold, Marksheet, documents like adharcard, Pan card, and Passport (because it has the address of his home so he has demanded that I should give him writing on stamp paper that I will can my address which I also ready from my side), etc. and kick me out of his house also, her (son) rented our house without an agreement for 1 year and never paid maintenance and now he is continuous harassing me that he will not pay me rent and deposit which he has taken from my tenant. Also, he claims that he has thrown my belongings out of his house. what should I do (also my father has mentioned in a letter to hire a lawyer for documents after his death) but know such has happened also they are not my legal guardian. The letter written by my father is on normal paper which has the signature of a society member and a few more people including my aunt. Please help what should i do.

You consult a local experienced lawyer and discuss  the matter deeply at length.

You chalk out the plans about what you have to demand from him and what next if he refuses  etc., properly 

After that you initiate  proper legal action as per law by first sending him a legal  notice demanding all your dues from him.

1. To get back the familu heirloom and documents you should file a case u/s 406 IPC.

2. For property first take physical possession and then file suit for declaration.

3. If taking physical possession is not possible then add relief of recovery of possession as well in the suit.

4. If you were validly adopted then file partition suit to claim half share of your aunt.

  • As you told above that at the time of your parents death your age was 12-14 years.
  • If you know the your parents home address and bank account details.
  • Than you can easily get property papers on your name transfer by way of inheritance.
  • As of now you can make a police complaint in nearest police station and ask your cousin's to produce all property papers and your government identification and education papers.

The gold is a moveable asset. So it may be taken away by the aunt without any reference to anybody

But I do not understand how she was operating the bank account?

Was she operating the account which was in the name of your father or in joint names of your parents?

Was the aunt appointed as a nominee of that account?

Did your father transfer half his property under a registered transfer deed in favour of your aunt?

If the aunt or his son were made only half owner then how could they rent the entire house? 

I assume it is an ownership flat in society

The facts given by you in your query are incomplete and vague

In order to reclaim the property and other assets you will have to file a suit against the son of your aunt

If it's your claim that the flat is yours after your parents demise and that the rent and deposit are not paid to you, this too needs to be claimed in a civil suit as above

And what kind of documents are mentioned in your father's letter

Your entire query is bereft of essential facts and just too vague

You need to elaborate so that a proper response or atleast something near thereto as possible can be given to enable you to decide the next course of action

Presently my reply will be a limited one given the incomplete facts provided

If you have any support to prove your allegations then you have to approach to the nearest police station and file a complaint against the person who is harassing you so far as your properties are concerned you have to take position of the property immediately and if any property is is imposition of the person without any documentation you can evict him directly otherwise you can file eviction suit district court.

Please note that the properties which are in your ownership the rental lease agreement can be signed by only you if the person is not authorised by power of attorney.

- In the absence of any legal proof of adoption , you are not legally adopted by the said aunt , and the natural guardian remains your parents  

- Further , after the death of your parents , his property would be devolved upon his legal heir including you. 

- Firstly lodge a complaint against her son for harassment and destroying your life after trespassing in your property 

- if police not lodge an FIR against him then approach higher police official for the same. 

- Further send a legal notice to him to evict the property , and to the said tenant to pay you rent . 

- If no response , then take help from a local lawyer for filing a case before the court.

Section 368: Whoever, knowing that any person has been kidnapped or has been abducted, wrongfully conceals or confines such person, shall be punished in the same manner as if he had kidnapped or abducted such person with the same intention or knowledge, or for the same purpose as that with or for which he conceals or detains.

 

First of all you don't go behind the sections of law, instead you neatly draft a complaint covering all your grievances, the police will take care of appropriate sections that may be included as per the contents of the complaint.

You can pursue the NCR already filed and convert it into   criminal complaint to enable the police to register FIR.
