        I need lawyer to represent in court and legal advice regarding the following situation:

        Since the early 1900s, my family has owned a plot of land in Mumbai, which originally housed our bungalow, with the remaining area rented out as chawls. Around 40 years ago, my grandfather entered into an agreement with a builder to sell the land in exchange for cash and flats in the new building. The builder completed 4 out of the 5 planned wings but ran out of funds. He paid us some cash and flats, but the full payment was never made, leading my grandfather to cancel the deal. As a result, our names were reinstated on the property card. However, we do not have any documentation such as bank statements or paperwork to confirm the cancellation or the receipt of payments.

        The property card still shows our name to this day. Now, 40 years later, the property has become a Co-operative Housing Society (CHS), and the society members are pushing for redevelopment and seeking deemed conveyance from the authorities. If the deemed conveyance goes through, we may lose our rights, and the owners will not receive any compensation.

        Can we challenge the deemed conveyance in court, citing that the property card still lists our names?
        If the deemed conveyance order is passed, but the property card is still in our name, can we do anything?
        How much compensation I can get from the new developer to transfer the name on the property card?
