Hi Sir, Thanks for your reply. Now the situations are very bad. My Aunty sons thrown all the thing out side which we Kept in the place. Kindly let me know how to proceed further as per your advice. Thanks
1) file police complaint against your nephews for trespass as they have forcibly entered the house
2) in the event any civil suit is filed by your aunt to recover possession of the land you can take the plea of adverse possession in your defence as you have been in possession of the premises for over 20 years
3) post security guards on land and install CCTV cameras on the land
Legally you cannot claim the land or property because your father is occupying the landed property without any rights or basis. Just having possession of original land documents will not confre title on your father. The owner has to execute a registered sale or any kind of transfer deed to your father and only after that he can claim title to the property. The story narrated by you that your father cleared a loan and hence he is in possession of land as compensation will not be tenable in law. He should have a proper record for transfer of property unto his name duly executed by the owner as vendor.
There is no solution this through legal process and the only way is by settlement through mutual talks and agreement involving elders if necessary.
1. A promise to make an agreement to sell the property is unenforceable as it is a promise to create a future right.
2. Your aunt has the right to get back her documents by filing a lawsuit against your father. This apart, she can also file a criminal complaint for theft against your father.
3. Your father should return the documents to her.
