My brother did a fraud with my mother and his sisters taking my fathers property
Hi, I am Hina. We are four sisters and one brother. We have a property in Tolichowki, Hyderabad and the owner of the property was our mother. Our father died years ago. Our mother was the owner of the property. All our sisters and bother are married. My mother lived in her own house with my brother and his wife. One day my brother took my mother to the registry office and got my mom’s signature done on his name. He made a sale deed of 40 lakhs on Feb 26th, 2018 but did not pay a single penny to our mom. Later my mom was surprised when my brother said the property got transferred to his name. After the property got transferred my brother and his wife started bothering my mom and not even taking care of her. Also not giving her food properly. I just want to know can my mom still file an FIR against my brother for this fraud. Its almost 2 years 6 months’ time passed away. Please advise me can we still take action.
Thank You Hina

Hi, yes you can file an FIR under Section 420 of the IPC. There is no limitation period on the same. Additionally, if a sale deed (and not a gift deed) was executed and no actual money was exchanged, the sale deed and subsequent transfer of ownership can be nullified in Court. You will be better served contacting a professional lawyer.
I hope this has helped, please do contact an attorney, they will be able to take your case forward.
You have to approach the Tribunal in the State constituted under Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens act 2007, and your mother will definitely get relief from the Tribunal.
