Father’s self-acquired property gifted to the son will not be considered ancestral property. The Bombay High Court gave this verdict in a property dispute between brother and sister.
After the death of the doctor father, there was a dispute over property between the brother and sister. However, the court has partially accepted the interim petition of the petitioner sisters and ordered the brother (71), who is a doctor by profession, not to sell the flat or create third party rights without the permission of the court.
The doctor and his family live in this flat. The sisters allege that this flat was bought from the joint family fund and the loan paid by the parents. Both the sisters had filed a suit against their brother and his son last year. Their father died in 2006 and mother in 2019. The father had acquired a large number of properties in Mumbai.

The sisters allege that the brother had secretly and with malicious intentions got all the three flats registered in his name in 2002 while the father was still alive. A year later, he sold them (property sale rule) without informing anyone.
The sisters, through their lawyer Pramod Bhosale, have demanded that the property be declared joint family property in which they also own a third share. Whereas the brother, through his lawyer Vishwanath Patil, argued that the sisters are suppressing important facts and hence they are not entitled to any relief.
