Partition Suit - Next Steps, Fees
Background of the Case: This is a partition suit between 4 siblings in the state of Karnataka. Plaintiff (one of the siblings) has filed a partition suit with remaining 3 siblings. Out of the 3 siblings 2 are deceased (1 brother and 1 sister) hence their respective wife and children are included in the defendant. (overall 9 defendants) So Plaintiff is claiming for 1/4th of the share along with expenses he made on the properties/agricultural land to improve their state. Out of the listed properties in the partition suit, the estimate value plaintiff has mentioned is 4CR INR, with 1/4th share to be 1CR INR. Plaintiff is claiming 1CR + 45 lakhs (his expenses). Although the benefits of the investment have not been mentioned in the form of rents/crop harvest by Plaintiff and one of the Defendants. So in this case not sure if the document correctly represent this value. There is one lawyer being being appointed to represent all 11 defendants except one defendant who benefited from the rent and might have their own lawyer. I have two questions: I am one of the defendants in the suit. My mother(deceased) is one of the siblings, hence I get 1/4th of 1/4th share of this partition suit. Current estimate share as per the partition suit document is 25 lakhs INR. 1. The next hearing is on 19/12/2020 (looks like Lok Adalat in Karnataka is happening on the same date), should I hire a lawyer to request for more time given that I just got the notice recently. How can I access the case document online and not the case status. 2. How much is average lawyer fees for this partition suite if I hire my own layer to raise objections on the list of properties, his claim on expenses, etc. and go all the way. 3. How much is my Court fees i.e. defendant in this case? Is there a percentage of my share that I should be looking at for Karnataka state? Is there any online link that I can refer?

My father had taken two adjoining flats on ground floor of a society back in 1998. The builder then gave us a offer that if we take two adjoining flats together we would get a space outside (of around 125 sq ft) right outside our flats. He even opened a door from that place. He marked the space in the our agreement plan with different color but didn't clearly mention the same in agreement. Now after so many years the society is threatning us to break the compound wall that had built then and that it's illegal since it is not mentioned in our agreement. This had happened once 10 years back too. Then too society specifically the chairman and secretary of society then had threatened us. We had sent legal notice to them but didn't receive it n it came back to us. Now again the society comittee members are planning to take action and we even presented them the letter given to us by builder on his letter head along with his stamp and sign mentioning that the place belongs to us. I intend to finalize this matter. Can anyone advice me what can be done? Anything that legally solve the problem once and for all without intervention of society, since society won't do anything for us as they want to turn it into parking place?

In a joint family with regards to an ancestral property, is it possible for me whose name does not exist in the title of the lands because the "property is in the sole name of my mother who is living" register release deed to my sister whose name too is not in the title of the lands. In other words, I can register a release deed in the present day permanently releasing my future rights to ancestor lands that I will inherit 20-30 years later?
