May 6, 2026 at 1:12 pmMy father has some ancestral land along with his brothers inherited from their father. The papers of my father’s land however is in the hands of his brothers at the same place as those lands. The relationship between them is not good anymore. He has no courage to bring back the papers to our house that is in a city about 30km away. Now, we are in dire need for money and we can’t take loan against it or outright sell it. It is in rural area so we might get a buyer and sell them without papers but that’s illegal or not moral atleast. -

May 6, 2026 at 1:16 pmYour father should talk his brother calmly, because without paper it is illegal to sell a land. -

May 6, 2026 at 1:17 pmIs your father’s registry separate meaning does he have an undivided share with his brothers or it is properly separate but doesn’t have the papers?-

May 6, 2026 at 1:27 pmIf the property is in his name, you can go to the registrar’s office for its copies. You can also file an FIR at your local police station that the original papers have been lost.-

OP
May 6, 2026 at 2:02 pmSo we can get the copies. But would that help with the current case without original papers? We definitely know where the original papers are so is it even okay to file an FIR that way?-

May 6, 2026 at 4:54 pmIf you are the owner of the property ie if the title is in your name, you don’t have to worry about anything. Consult and advocate locally to resolve this.

May 6, 2026 at 4:55 pmthis kind of situation becomes difficult because the issue is not just ownership but practical control over the documents and family dynamics around them the part that usually matters most is whether your fathers share is clearly reflected in official land records because physical papers being with relatives and actual ownership on record are not always the same thing also selling rural land informally without proper papers can create much bigger problems later have you or your father ever checked recently whose names are currently showing in the revenue or land records for that property or has everything stayed dependent on the old papers with the brothers
