The case file by him went against him in 2018 therefore limitation to appeal against the order of sessions court  is over. There is no threat from that point. No the property is in the name of grandmother, it has to be mutated in the name of legal heirs of grandfather and then it can be sold to anyone. You uncle cannot interfere in that.  You have proof of judgment in your favor.

If there is no stay order passed property can be sold 

 

2) on grand mother death property would devolve on grand father , your father and his siblings 

 

3) apply for mutation of property in name of legal heirs

First get all mutation paper transferred on your name and then sell the property. they can't harass you nor stop you selling the property. show them court order and before they take Injunction on selling you can apply for caveat.

- As per law, after the death of grandmother , the property would be devolved upon her legal heirs .

- Further, if there is no stay order from the court , then your father is entitled to sell the property 

- Further, as the said property is in the name of her , then firstly your father should apply for getting mutation in his name. 

- Only filing a suit is not enough for the transfer of the property , until there is an stay order from the court.

Dear Sir/Ma'am

After the death of your grandmother, the legal heirs are entitled to the ownership of the property. Since the Sessions Court has already given the judgment in your favor, you have all the rights over the property. After getting the mutation in your favor, you don't need to be afraid of your other uncles as they are only trying to pressurize you for not selling the house. Even if the suit is again filed by them, you have all the proof and evidence of ownership of the said house in your favor, hence, they wouldn't be able to interfere in the sale procedure. Thank You

If suit for partition is pending in court then you cannot sell the property pending hearing and final disposal of case

Dear sir.

 

Please note that it is probably not possible for you to sell the property as a case concerning the same property is pending in the court. Thank you.

- As i mentioned above, if there is no stay order passed from the court , then legally you can sell the property. 

- However, if the partition suit is pending , then cannot sell the same.

If the property stands registered on yor grandmother's name,, upon her intestate death iot shall devolve on her own legal heirs equally.

Your grandfather can sell the property jointly along with the other legal heirs of your grandmother.

Mutation records are not considered as title documents.

If your uncles are trying to file any case or if they have filed any case in this regard, you may have to challenge their claim as per law in the court alone, especially if they are  not ready to come for a compromise or an amicable settlement.

The property lying on your grandmother's name is her own and exclusive proeprty.

Now upon her intestate death it shall devolve equally on all her legal heirs which includes the legal heirs of the deceased legal heir also.

Therefore instead of stretching the issue without any end or meaning, you may better reconcile the difference by a compromise and arrive at an amicable settlement within your family, get the property partitioned as per mutually agreed conditions and then you can get the partition deed registered accordingly to enable you to sell the share of property without any hindrance.
