• Can I claim my right in my Nana Ji property

My mother was the only daughter of her parents(no son or any other daughter)
My nana ji passed away on 8 Feb 1999
Due to throat cancer, and my nana ji had 4 brothers one of them took his property by the release deed on 29 Jan 1999
My mother passed away on 7 Feb 2012
and after a year later my Nani ji passed away on 20 March 2013 then I claimed my right I came to know that 21 Bigha out of 30 Bigha took my nana ji brother, I filed a case in civil court but the court dismissed my case. Because my nana Ji brother requested the court, consider the release deed to a gift deed, ( release deed can be considered as a gift deed)( can a person give up his share to a particular person through the release deed/the relinquish deed
Will you please suggest me what should I do

A deed of release or release deed is a legal document that removes the claim of a person from an immovable property and transfers his/her share to the co-owner. The release deed procedure is executed in the sub-registrars office and both the parties are required to be present for signing it.

 

A release deed is like a transferring the ownership of immovable property on co-related owners name.  then its like a sale deed with or without consideration.

It's not clear whether the joint property of your Nanaj8 was his ancestral property or self acquired. 

However since after 2005 the daughter too have share in the ancestral property if the Release deed was made post 2005 then the same is not valid.

If it was made before 2005 then your remedy lies only if you could prove that the Release Deed was made under force or coercion.

Without seeing the papers I can not comment further.

Court miserably failed to interpret law, release deed in no case can be consider as gift deed. File appeal against the order.

Uncle had no inheritance right in his brother property neither he was joint owner, so release deed is void. It had to be only gift deed. Language of gift deed, stamp duty and purpose are absolutely different than release deed.

- Relinquishment/Release deed is a legal document through which an heir can transfer or release his legal right of the inherited property.

- Further , it is irrevocable even if it is made without any consideration. 

- Further , if you have executed and registered a legally valid Relinquishment Deed, then you can not cancel it , i.e. you cannot claim back your share of the property which you have already relinquished , but if was minor at the time of executing the deed, you can challenge the same in the court.

- Hence, if the said release deed is registered from the office of the registrar , then it cannot be cancelled.

If your grandfather had transferred his property by a registered deed to his brother during his lifetime, then that cannot be challenged by a third person.

You may be your mother's legal heir but this proeprty was transferred by your grandfather himself during his lifetime to his own brother, hence you cannot claim any share in the property that was not available to your mother.

You cannot use any separate rulings from your side if your advocate has already filed the citations that he relies upon.

You can file citation by yourself only when you are appearing in the case as a party in person.

You are entitled for all the property. 

So file a 420IPC police complaint against the brothers of your nanaji.

Than file a partition suit
