• How to take possession of my own property

Dear Sir, about Fourteen years before my Brother-in-Law purchased a plot of about 240 mtrs from the two different sellers  120mtr+ 1200mtrs  in Delhi on the basis of  Power of Attorney, and the Power of Attorney could not be Registered that time.One of the seller was my younger brother. Later on my brother-in-law  given that plot to his sister ( i.e my wife) but without any documentation as a free gift to make a house on that plot. Then in 2003 I built some rooms kitchen etc  on my cost for residence purpose and started living there with my  parents and two younger brothers. Electric Meter is also in name of my Brother-In-Law being a legal owner of the same. Later on due to nature of my job I shifted  my family ( wife and kids ) another place on a rented house. My parents and brothers continued to live there. Two year before my youngest brother and parents also shifted to another place on rent after his marriage. The other brother from whom part of the plot was purchased  continued to live there with his family.
Now my brother who is living there do not want to go anywhere, saying that the plot / house is in his possession so he does not want to leave it. Kindly advise how we can proceed to take possession of the same? Legally what are the options for My Brother-In-Law or what option are left  for me. Thanks

Your brother-in-law has to filed a suit for eviction from one half of the property as your brother is owner of only the other half.

You have to give a notice to your brother for eviction and thereafter you have to file suit for eviction through your brother-in-law.

it appears to be a family dispute . family disputes are best resolved with intervention of elders . as it is your documentation is very poor . your brother has sold property to your brother in law through power of attorney . your brother in law did not register property in his name . similarly no gift deed has been executed by brother in law in favour of your wife . better consult a local lawyer . necessary to go through agreements executed between parties to advise . .
