What are rights if oral family partition not registered?

There was an oral division of property in our family in 2007. My uncles gave us a piece of land from our ancestral property and told us we could build a house there. Now that I have built a house, they are refusing to acknowledge the arrangement and claim that, since the partition was not registered, they still have equal rights to the property. What can I do?

Since the partition was only oral and not registered, you should now request a formal written partition through mutual agreement or file a partition suit in court. You can show proof like construction expenses and witnesses to support your claim that the land was given to you. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
