• Possession of Property

My husband had purchased a property on my name directly from builder.  As it was of no use for me, I had given it to my daughter's husband for using it 10 years ago.
No written agreement was made.
Now when i want it, he has refused to hand it over to me.

A similar query was asked by someone few days ago and from responses I understand since I don't have possession I cannot gift it to anyone. 

What options do I have to get possession of the shop ? I have pleaded many times in front of them, but they refuse to budge. 

Can't i just break the locks as it still in my name and no written agreement was made when I had given keys to them.
Considering I have to beg to get in my own property seems very disheartening.

Is your husband alive? Whosoever is the legal owner of this property can demand it back in accordance with the law. He cannot overstay after the owner commands him to leave. Issue through your lawyer a notice to him to vacate. If he does not abide by the notice then file a case for his eviction in the district court wherein the court will order him to leave.

If you break the locks then you can be jailed for house breaking as it is illegal.

Seek for possession and compensation for having illegally occupied your property by issuing a legal notice and file a suit thereafter if refused to act.
