nominee is only a trustee for legal heirs . son dosent become owner of flat . you should contact a local lawyer . show him redevelopment agreement , papers of your flat , correspondence engaged with builder and then act accordingly . father should file partition suit if son refuses to give him his share

when you raise query you must disclose all facts . if partition suit is filed father will get 1/3rd share . apply to court for expediting final hearing of suit as father is senior citizen

no court can force builder to decide about flat issue first . you have already filed a partition suit . engaged a lawyer . he will see to it that your father gets 1/3rd share . redevelopment work cant be stopped because of issues in respect of one flat . . . you can request court that rentals received from builder for flat be given to all 3 legal heirs pending decision in suit or it be deposited in court

If mother died without a will then her widower, son and daughter have an equal share in the property., The builder has in his wisdom asked the daughter and widower as to the amount they desire to take having regard to their share in the property.

Since the widower and daughter of the deceased woman have an equal share in the property the redevelopment cannot be done without their consent.

Neither the builder nor the son of the deceased woman can in any manner force the widower and daughter of the deceased woman to vacate the flat against their wishes.

If any attempt is made to illegally remove the widower and daughter of the deceased woman from the flat then they may seek a stay order from the court.

The terms and conditions of the redevelopment agreement have to be perused to determine if the builder has even the right to move a court of law to get the widower and daughter removed from the flat against their wish.

Since a partition suit has already been filed widower and daughter of the deceased lady will get their share once the court orders a division of the property in accordance with the law.

In order to pre-empt any move by the builder to illegally evict the father-daughter duo from the flat they may move the court for seeking a stay order as in a partition suit the court is going to confine itself to ascertaining the share of both and then ordering a division of the property, but it cannot stop the builder from removing them from the property. Hence, they may obtain a stay order from the court.

You must understand that senior citizens cannot get any preferential treatment from the courts.

Wait till the outcome of the partition suit and then plan the next move on the basis of the judgment passed by the court.
