I am a retired defense personnel, and I constructed my house on joint family ancestral land around twenty-five years ago. During my service, my cousin brother applied for a partition, and I did not object. However, due to a mistake by the revenue department or my cousin's mischief, around four marlas of my total 12-marla house were partitioned in my cousin’s name. I found out about this three years ago. Now, my cousin is harassing me and demanding an unreasonably high amount. He is not agreeing to a reasonable settlement. What should I do?
If your cousin misappropriated land, you can file a suit for declaration to establish your property rights. Challenge the partition on grounds of fraud or misrepresentation. If your cousin demands money to resolve the issue, file for partition in court. A property lawyer can help you with the process and send a legal notice if needed.
