Legal Question in Real Estate Law in India

Re: Can my father sale or transfer our inherited landed property without my cons

It is illegal to sell Inherited Joint Family Property whether agricultural or any other property inherited by your fore fathers, but there is an exception to the above law, i.e. in case of economic needs, the father as the kartha and manager of the Joint family can sell the immovable property, until the economic needs are there it is not legal and it is not binding even if it is sold, You have to correspond with your father and tell him that you are not interested in selling the land, find out why he selling the land for what purpose he is doing this.

To stop the sale you can go to court, and take an injunction not to sell the property. but before going to court you have to discuss with your father and other brother, then if no settlement is arrived, then and then only you proceed to court.

I am in agreement with the reply opinion of Mr.Balasubramanya Beeranna posted to your query on 12/10/2002.

In the absence of any legal necessity, your father, as a Karata of HUF, is not entitled to transfer and alienate any joint family properties and you can challenge any such transfer or sale.
