Bihar Land Registry: Senior advocate of Siwan Civil Court, Awadhesh Kumar Srivastava said that if the daughter is alive, she has direct rights over the maternal property. Even if she dies, her children will retain their rights over the mother’s maternal property.
Land Registry Rules: These days, the matter related to revenue and land reform is in constant discussion in Bihar. After the implementation of the new rule, everyone wants to know every aspect in detail. In this too, a big issue is related to the property of the maternal grandfather. The big question that has arisen is whether the children can get the right to their maternal grandfather’s property after the death of the mother or not? In such a situation, today we will tell you through the senior advocates of Siwan Civil Court how grandsons and granddaughters can take part in their maternal grandfather’s property.
Daughter has got the right in maternal property from the Supreme Court
Siwan Civil Court lawyer Rajesh Kumar told that till decades ago, there was no right in maternal property i.e. father’s property in the girl’s maternal home. However, after the order of the Supreme Court, the daughter has been given equal rights as the son in the father’s property in both married and unmarried situations. That is, even after marriage, if the daughter wants, she can get equal rights in the father’s property (maternal property). She has got the legal right. Not only this, even after the death of her father, she will have rights over the maternal property.
Even after the death of the mother, the son and daughter can take a share in the property of the maternal grandfather.
Senior advocate of Siwan Civil Court, Awadhesh Kumar Srivastava, says that if the daughter is alive, she has a direct right over the maternal property. Even if she dies, the rights of her children will remain in the maternal property of the mother. The grandson and granddaughter will have to do some necessary work to get the right over the land of the maternal grandfather. Only then will they be able to sell that land. Advocate Awadhesh Srivastava says that the new rule has come into force in Bihar from 22 February 2024.
Under this, it is mandatory to have the name in the jamabandi to sell the land. In such a situation, the grandson and granddaughter will have to get the genealogy made by meeting the maternal uncle and other married or unmarried aunts. In which he will have to give the details of his mother and himself as well. After this, he can get the jamabandi done in his name from the Halka employee by applying for the right in Khatiyani and Bainama Mamhati Sampati (maternal grandfather’s property). However, the son-in-law will not have any right in the property of the wife’s maternal home.
