Unless the grandfather had left a will wherein he made a bequest in favour of first son all his children ha an equal share in the land which was to be registered in grandfather's favour. The first son alone cannot claim succession to the land. The second son can file a suit for partition to cull out his share in the 2000 sq.ft land.

The second son may not have attended the court but if his rights are determined by a consent decree passed by the civil court or an out of court settlement between the plaintiff and defendant which resulted in withdrawal of suit by the plaintiff then he can cull out his share through a suit for partition.

Question is: First son got registered land 2000 square feet’s on his name but property has not come though court compromised outside court. In this case whether second son has right on the 2000 square feet’s which is given to First son.

The first son entered into an agreement with the heirs of vendor and accordingly he got his share in the property under dispute.

But the first son has got only his share and that too on his behalf alone.

The second son, who is the 2nd plaintiff is also entitled to his share in the property, hence will continue to fight the case even if the 1st plaintiff is not interested to continue and prefers to withdraw.

The second son's share in the suit property remains in tact, he can fight for his rights separately in the same suit.

Now Second son is coming even I have right on 2000 squarefeets and gave lawyer notice, but second son never attended to the court and second son never sspent singel ruppe for this case. hence First son compramised outside.

The first son can withdraw only his case and his brother's case will continue to run unless he decides to withdraw.

The 2nd son can fight for his share if the compromise agreement is not in his favor.

The first son cannot prevent the 2nd son to continue the case.

The question is not about who funded for the case but it is about what releif both have claimed and whether it is joint relief or separate.
