General Legal Query Questions
Browse general legal query questions asked by people across India.
Questions in General Legal Query are answered with reference to the Indian Contract Act, 1872, the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 and the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, depending on the nature of the dispute. Each answer states the section that applies, the forum that hears the matter and the limitation period, so the position can be checked against the official text at India Code before you act on it.
The forum depends on the facts rather than the label: a dispute described as a family matter may be heard by a family court, a magistrate or a civil judge depending on whether the relief sought is maintenance, custody, injunction or declaration. Where the law has been renumbered by the 2023 criminal law reforms, answers note both the old and the new section numbers.

What does it mean when we say that the respondents are not the co-owners?
I have asked for my half share in in my SUCCESSION case as a petitioner. I have mentioned in my objections to defendants that they should file a counterclaim or a claim if they are to get their half share. Am I wrong in stating so? I was declared a legal heir along with my deceased defendant. Current defendants are her children who have not filed any proof of legal heirship. So I told them in my Objections that they should file a separate suit to get their half share in succession. Is it right?

I filed a succession case being a class 2 legal heir. My defendant died. I made the 3 children of my defendant a party to SUCCESSION case. In my prayer, I only asked for my half share in movable assets. Now my case was in arguments stage. I argued that the 3 defendants never filed a claim or a counter claim, at the written statement stage. They never filed any proof of being the legal heirs of my deceased defendant. The opposite councel came and argued that the 3 defendants are the children of my deceased defendant and that they should be given half the share in succession case. I argued that if I have made someone a party to my case, it does not mean that I am offering them half the share of movable assets in succession. And that the 3 defendants have never filed any proof of them being legal heirs of my deceased defendant. I reiterated that I have only asked for my half share in my prayer. Will the judge go beyond my prayer or will she consider my prayer of granting me my half share in the movable assets in succession? Will she also consider the 3 defendants and also give them half share?
In a succession case, can the judge do judgement beyond the prayer? I am declared class 2 legal heir by the court. My respondents have not filed any document that prooves their legal heir status.can they be granted succession certificate along with me. My respondents are the descendants of my deceased defendant.
