cAN I EVICT FAMILY MEMBER FROM MY PROPERT

My mother owns a property in varanasi which has got 9 rooms. she has given 5 rooms on rent without lease agreement. In one of the 5 rooms my mother's younger brother is staying with his family and we are not collecting any rent as they are financially not sound. Recently we thought of selling that property and now he is creating nuisance and threatening us not to sell the property and also when we asked him to vaccate he is simply refusing. Kindly advice us what to do in this regard.

You can serve him a notice terminating the tenancy with immediate effect. Hopefully the property is exclusively in the name of the mother. Lease agreements can be documented or oral also. Though you are not collecting any rent due to his financial constraints,it will not create any ownership right upon him. He can always be treated as a trespasser. You need to terminate the tenancy with immediate effect. You also need to check if the water and electricity meter is in his name or not.

Your uncle is not a tenant under the Rent Laws as prevalent in your state as there is no rent agreement or rent receipt issued. The occupier does not have a right, title or interest in the property. You as the owners of the property have to take a call in case you want to sell the property. This can be settled by talking to the occupier considering the fact that the occupier is your uncle who is not paying any rent. In case he still refuses to vacate the premises then please send him a legal notice to evict and thereafter file a suit for eviction.

From the facts furnished by you it is not clear whether your uncle is a tenant. You have to clarify whether your uncle paid rent to your mother at any time in the past and if that is so your mother can file an eviction petition on the ground of non-payment of rent. In case your uncle never paid any rent, a legal notice should be issued on behalf of the owner, i.e., your mother asking your uncle to handover the vacant possession of the property and, thereafter, a suit for eviction should be filed.

Boundary wall disputes with neighbour

I, Suvranil Basu, aged 23, residing at House No. 1399/3, Keota Garhbagan, Sahaganj, Hooghly, West Bengal, seek an amicable resolution concerning substantial damage to the boundary wall adjoining Deb Roy’s premises. Previously, I personally spent approximately ₹15,000 repairing the wall after damage allegedly associated with a neighbouring tree. The wall has again suffered substantial cracking and masonry displacement. Banana plants situated immediately beside the wall may have contributed to the deterioration, subject to independent technical verification. Photographs dated 30 May 2024 are preserved. Deb Roy allegedly assured me that she would repair/reconstruct the wall in the presence of Shri Sujit Dey (Chhukuri) and Dr. Projit Roy (BabuSona). Despite more than two years passing, the promised work remains incomplete. I have prepared four documents: (1) Formal Notice, (2) Mutual Letter of Agreement, (3) Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), and (4) Mutual Settlement Agreement-cum-Undertaking. My intention is to use these documents as evidence of communication, negotiation and voluntary commitments, rather than as an advocate-issued legal notice. My primary objective is to obtain Deb Roy’s legally effective written commitment to reconstruct the damaged wall entirely at her expense within 1–2 months, using proper foundations, new quality materials, competent workmanship and independent engineering verification, alongside appropriate vegetation removal and preventive measures. I want the documentation to minimise ambiguity, denial, delay, evasion, defective workmanship and potential legal loopholes, while preserving photographic evidence, witness statements, proof of delivery and my existing legal rights. I believe approximately six months remain before a possible limitation deadline under the Limitation Act, 1963. However, the applicable limitation article, accrual date and actual deadline require urgent legal verification. I wish to avoid litigation without inadvertently losing my right to pursue appropriate remedies. Questions :- 1. Among the four uploaded documents, which is legally strongest, most enforceable and least vulnerable to loopholes under Indian law for securing Deb Roy’s complete reconstruction of the wall at her own expense within 1–2 months? Should I use one document or a carefully sequenced combination? 2. Under the Limitation Act, 1963, which specific article and limitation period govern my possible claims, when did limitation begin, and is my estimated six-month balance correct? Can a signed acknowledgment, fresh enforceable agreement or other lawful measure protect my position under Sections 18 or 19 or other applicable provisions, and what must I do before the actual deadline? 3. What is the safest step-by-step, non-litigious strategy for obtaining her voluntary signature and ensuring completed reconstruction within 1–2 months, while preserving my rights if she refuses, delays, breaches the agreement or attempts to exploit contractual loopholes? Should I pursue mediation or another time-sensitive protective remedy before limitation expires?

I live in Gujarat due to my job. My father bought a land via sale deed dated 1.10.1989 from a person. The land in an agricultural land in Zamania (State - U.P.). We were not visiting our village for last 8 years. Therefore, when we visited our village in 2022, we came to know that a person has trespassed into the 'suit land' and claiming that he is the owner because he paid our caretaker 5 lacs Rupees in 2019. We have filed a civil suit (Title Suit) in the local sub-judge Court in our Tehsil. While filing the suit, we had given the original title deed to our lawyer. Now the lawyer fighting our case says that original title deed and case papers have been lost. We have attached copies of the original title sale deed of the land while filing the civil suit. Our lawyer now says that we won't be able to prove our title in abscene of original sale deed. What are we supposed to do now? Please help. And kindly advice on below queries raised herein: 1. Can we submit the certified copies of the Original Sale Deed from Registry Office? 2. Will court consider the Certified Copy of the Sale Deed instead of original title deed? 3. What are our chances of getting a favourable order in this case?
