Joint family settlement case
Mr. A has 2 sons B and C. In 1980, Son B didn't go for higher studies went in military for 20 years. Son C went through college but didn't work and was unemployed throughout 20 years and stayed with Mr.A living off of Mr.A savings and reitirement income. After 20 years, in year 2000, Son B returns home with his savings and retirement income from military. Then Son C happens to go to foreign country. At that time. Mr. A had very little money left and Son B has his retirement income plus starts working and get earning money. Now the situation is Mr.A living with Son B Whereas Son C who went to foreign country starts sending money to back to India to Mr.A and Son B for next 12 years as for purpose of investment. So, now in 2012, when Mr. A expires, Son C wants his money and divide all income in India. So how that total income in India is divided between 2 sons considering the history and current situation.

But problem is the money which was sent india was not kept in whatever accounts available. Son C never asked for interest or balance when Mr. A was alive. Now since he is dead, Son C wants all his money back. On this Son B reaction is if we have to settle it should from get go from years before 2000 when for 20 years he was fed by Mr. A. Because Son C is doing all accounting after 2000 when he went to Foreign country. What about responsibilities towards Mr. A ? B never asked for his share when he was out in milatary for 20 yrs.
