Hi

Our’s is a joint family but doesn’t stay together. My father (eldest) has 2 brother and 3 sisters. My father and 2nd uncle are doing business and 3rd brother (youngest) is farmer (at our native place). My grandfather had 2 farms both ,after his death, were named on my grandmother. my father and 2nd uncle both came to mumbai 30 yrs back and started seperate business. In mid-stage of life my father bought 4-5 land property at our native place and also rebuild (concretised) our earlier mud house. My father handed over his few property to his brothers without any returns. My third uncle family has very disturbing history and my father supported them financially. My 2nd uncle was quite reluctant to help. My father always had strong dominance over the our family as well among his brother.Also my father married in latter stage and his brothers got married before him. Now their sons and daughter are elder to me and got married. My father is very egoist and arrogant. Because of that we were never in good terms. last 15 yrs his business got into terrible losses. His arrogance has always cost my mother and us. I even tried to enter his business but his arrogance never let me took any decision or even let me survive. Left with no option I have to look for another job. Now his business is totally bankrupt and debt has gone is crores. Day by day the debt is rising and he is reluctant to make any decision. Recently he sold grandfather’s property with his brothers and sisters consent. In the property sale the agreement was such my father, both uncle will get share of 40:40:20. As his son I was never informed about this deal.The 3rd uncle used that money to buy flat for his son. I understand my father utilised the money for paying off some debt but he never kept me in loop. He took loan not only from bank but also from relatives. the relatives keep calling me and asked for money which my father took. My father is now heart patient and my entire salary has gone in his surgery. Also My uncle were never in his favour, because he was providing money they were good with him. They never showed that kind of respect to my mother and us (me and my sisters), as they showed it to my father. Especially the 3rd uncle and his family took many decision on their own. They sold the harvest which were grown on my father’s land and kept the money for themselves. Now they have actually started to isolate and humiliate us. My father still doesn’t accept the reality. Now my grand mother is very critical and she has lost memory. Now I came to know through sources that her property is going to my 3rd uncle’s son. And now this is done keeping me dark.

Now I feel that I’m not going to get anything from my father’s property and my father’s arrogance will put us all in poverty.

Have some question pertaining to this:

1) As my grandmother’s property is going to my cousin without my knoweledge. Does my father has right to make any such decision? Does it void my right to object?

2) My father has not named his property on my name or my mother’s name. Does law give him right to name it on anybody’s name? Can I protest again such decision being a rightful heir?

3) Does our joint family has to take my consent in any family property matter as being member of the family? If any land deal is done without my consent can I bring stay order via law?
