You have to first find out on whose name is the property lying now

Find out the survey number of the property and obtain encumbrance certificate and find out the transactions that took place with regard to that property for the last fifty years;

If you find any transaction adverse to your interest you may locate the origin of the said transaction and find out the source of document by apply for a certified copy from the registrar's office and can get the opinion of a local lawyer to proceed further.

1. Did your grandfather leave behind a will? If a will has been made by him the property would vest in accordance with the intention expressed by him in his will.

2. If he died without a will all his children have an equal share in his property. As such, your father is at liberty to cull out his share in the haveli by filing for partition in the court.

3. A copy of the sale deed of haveli can be obtained from the office of the local registrar.

1. An oral partition is no partition in the eyes of law if it has not been documented,

2. Unless the property is divided in accordance with the law it cannot be sold by your father.

3. If your father wishes to sell his share in the property he should file for partition in the court.

4. Your father cannot claim the entire haveli as it is owned equally by him and his siblings.

If the property is still in the name of your grandfather, the entitled legal heirs which include your father can amicably partition the properties among themselves suppose this is not possible, then your father can file a suit for partition ad separate possession of his entitled legitimate share in the properties.

This will be the option to be adopted if you want to possess your share in the property.
