Legal Articles
Q1. Procedure for Divorce Under Section 13B of the Hindu Marriage Act. Hello Sir, I filed a petition under Section 13B of the Hindu Marriage Act. I am Hindu. It was filed four months ago. The current online status says that the first hearing date was 10 April 2017, with the first order dated 19 April, and the next hearing date is 14 July 2017. What does this mean? Do both parties have to be present on these hearing dates? What are these hearing dates for? Please revert. Thanks.
Advocate Suraj Dessai Almeda answered
Yes, you have to wait for the statutory period of six months and then submit your affidavits and evidence. Thereafter, if all the requirements are fulfilled, a decree of divorce by mutual consent may be granted. The dates are generally given during this period for further proceedings and to explore the possibility of an amicable settlement.
Q2. How to Handle an Incorrectly Notarized MOU? My family has helped someone claim their property from the government. Since we do not have any right to claim that property, we signed a notarized MOU with that person on a ₹100 stamp paper. Under the MOU, both parties agreed that the person woul pay us a 1/7 share of the property. Now, suppose he does not give us that share. Can we take legal action against him?
Advocate Suraj Dessai Almeda answered
The said MOU may not be enforceable if registration is legally required and the document has not been registered. However, it may be relied upon for a collateral claim, if any exists. The document may also be relevant to prevent him from denying a legitimate claim, if you have one against him.
Q3. How to Enforce Vested Interest in Ancestral Property? My Sikh parents owned a house. After my father’s death, his share was transferred to my mother on the basis of a will. My mother has now transferred the house to my younger brother’s name without informing me. I am the elder son. What can I do? Does the law provide any rights to the elder son?
Advocate Suraj Dessai Almeda answered.
Yes, provided you can prove, in an appropriate legal proceeding for claiming your rights in the property, that your father made a contribution towards the property, that the property was ancestral in nature, and that the property was entered in another person’s name only for convenience. If these facts can be established, you may be entitled to claim your share in the property.
