what can we mother do so that he does not hamper the selling process of the flat( put a stay order for further selling process

A stay order is not necessary. She can proceed with the sale of the property ignoring the notice or his threats.

If the property is on your mother's name by a registered deed, then she will be the actual and absolute owner with marketable title, hence she can very well proceed with the sale of property without bothering about such grumblings.

Society secretary is threatened not give 'no objection certificate' to mother to transfer the flat to new buyers name post buyers agreement to buy the flat without the signature of 3 children

The society is not bound to give reply to such vexatious notices and frustrations in the form of present notice by the agitating son.

If at all he wants relief he may approach court and cannot resort to such illegal threats.

If society does not give 'no objection certificate' to transfer the flat to new buyer and does not respond for our frequent

The society cannot refuse to give NOC for sale of property by your mother, if it does, then your mother can drag the society to the consumer court as well as the cooperative court for relief and remedy.

Mother wants to sell the flat quickly to avoid nuisance from elder son and family and wants to avoid going to court.

She can sell the property to the prospective buyer by all means.

The NOC by the society is just a formality.

Since the registered sale deed is on our mother's name, the NOC of the society may not be of paramount importance.

The secretary of the society may be dragged to he court if he/she is indulging in any such activity which may be detrimental to your mother's interests in the property.

The registered sale deed in your mother is enough to prove her title and ownership of the property. She need not show the source of income for purchasing the property.

Law defines this as married women property and it further clarifies that she need not declare the source of income for purchasing this property.

Even if she is not having any source, if the property was funded by someone but registered on her name, then also she is the absolute owner of this property.

"No Objection Certificate" of the Society is not

required to transfer the shares and interest of the

transferor to transferee. However in case such a

certificate is required by the transferor or transferee,
