Can I file file partition suit for ancestral property?

Sir, I have three brothers, and my father doesn’t want to give me the agricultural land that is ancestral property in his name, inherited from my grandfather. Can I file a civil suit against my father for the partition of the ancestral property? Do I have any right to claim my share of the ancestral property during his lifetime?

You have the legal right to your share in the ancestral agricultural land, even if it’s in your father’s name. You can file a civil suit for partition to claim your part. It’s best to settle the matter in amicable way firstly, but if your father refuses, the court can divide the property fairly among all heirs during his lifetime. It is advised to consult an expert property lawyer who will assist you with the best course of action. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
