How can legal heirs claim for share in a property?

Question asked from Mr. Harsh Singh, India:

My father died in January’2010 without any will. We are 3 brothers (all married, I am a son), 4 sisters (2-unmarried, all aged above 40) and mother. Father had two houses in two different states. Our family is residing in one house. There are two issues: (i) Mother and my two elder brothers do not want to share property with me and sisters. They also plan to dis-locate two un-married sisters from my father’s house. In this situation: what are our legal options? What are the steps we should take to ensure that our property is safe and sisters are not evicted from there? (ii) The second house is vacant for last 6-7 years. The eldest brother plans to move into that house and occupy it without any-body’s consent. What steps we must take to stop this?

Thanks
Harsh Singh

Charges against open car parking

Question asked by Mr Abhay Kulkarni from Maharashtra:

Seek your urgent assistance for the following;
This is with reference to the below attached article I read in some newspaper, can I use this against a builder where he is charging me for the open parking. Is there any written directive which I can acquire from some where & keep as record with me.
QUOTE..
Although, it is a general practice adopted by the builders all over in India to sell the car parking places to the flat owners. However, by a recent judgment passed by the Co-operative Appellate Court, Mumbai it is ruled that the builder can not sell car parking places and the same can be allotted to the flat owners by the society after its formation. Within the territory of the State of Maharashtra, sale of car parking places by the builder is illegal, after the aforesaid judgment.
UNQUOTE
Awaiting your reply..
Thanks & Regards
Abhay Kulkarni.

What can be done to stop the erection of transformer?

Question asked by Mr Binu from Bangalore, India:

Hello,
My name is Binu and I am in a sticky spot.
My family purchased a house in Bangalore, a gated community.
it is currently under construction.

Now out of the blue, the developers of that area have decided to erect
a transformer next to our house, right adjacent to the house.
This was not disclosed earlier but also there is nothing in the contract to prevent the
developers from using the rest of the land in the way they like.

It poses two problems, it is a nuisance, and hazardous plus it ruins the look of the house.
also the price would depreciate after the transformer is built. There are kids in our family and we would never live in this house if the transformer were to be built.
What in your opinion is our best bet. Is there anything we can do to prevent this from happening.

Thanks
Binu
