The money was given in the year 1973 and an agreement was signed on a Rs. 2 stamp paper. Well what was the agreement or the terms of the agreement about the money that was transferred, was it on a loan agreement or it was given away as a dowry only without any condition for returning it by the receiver?,
Whatsoever, the case is very badly barred by limitation hence nothing can be claimed a this stage. It could have been claimed within the year 1976.
Hi, you can't claim the amount because the law of limitation is applicable here and you have to demand the amount with in 3 years from the date of receipt of the amount.
2. Now you can't claim the amount.
A suit for recovery of money cannot be filed after 3 years have expired. Furthermore, amount given in accordance with tradition is not covered within the definition of dowry, so forget it.
Thank you.After asking money my father's brother and his son continuesly threatening my mother and wife when i am not at home .so can i file an an injunction to inhibit them from entering our house and land?or should i report to women cell of police first?

1) record threats on your mobile
2) your mother can file police complaint under section 506 of IPC for criminal intimidation
3) if your family is absolute owner of the house and land injunction can be obtained restraining them from disturbing your possssion of the house
Your mother can file a criminal complaint for criminal intimidation against them which could result in their arrest. This apart, she can seek injunction to restrain them from gaining an entry inside your house.
Hi, first you have to lodge a police complaint and if they continue to do their illegal acts then only you can file a suit for injunction.
You can file suit for injunction but there is no merit in claiming such amount after so many years. I also wonder what is prompting you to claim such paltry amount after so many years. You will loose more money in getting the amount of Rs.9000/- in legal proceedings.
You can very well lodge a criminal complaint with the local police if they are continuously indulging in such illegal acts and pose threat to your mother's safety and life.
Besides you can file an injunction suit also against them restraining them from interfering with her peaceful possession and enjoyment of the property.
1. Yes, your mother can certainly claim back the amount collected by your father's brother as dowry,
2. Ask her to send a legal notice to him to return the said amount with interest within 30 days,
3. If he fails to return the said amount within the stipulated period, your mother should file a Recovery Suit against your Uncle to recover the said amount from him with interest.
1. Lodge a complaint before your local police station against them,
2. File the Recovery Suit as suggested in my earlier post,
3. Simultaneously file an application under Order 39 Rule 1 & 2 praying for an order restraining them in entering your premises.
