Land sold for Rs 6.95cr, sister-in-law got Rs 72L; HC orders Rs 1.01cr plus interest

Family disputes can be tricky especially those involving property. In one such case a brother-in-law allegedly did not pay the full due amount to the sister-in-law for the sale of land. The family property dispute over 26 bighas of land in Najafgarh ended up in court with the Delhi High Court now directing the brother-in-law to pay the daughters of a deceased co-owner Rs 1,01,78,074, along with 8% annual interest.The property dispute was related to four women who jointly purchased land. Each held one-fourth undivided share. One of them later gave her brother-in-law a general power of attorney (GPA) because she was living in West Bengal, while he was based in Delhi.The brother-in-law eventually used the GPA when the property was sold in 2011.
