Background of the Case: This is a partition suit between 4 siblings in the state of Karnataka. Plaintiff (one of the siblings) has filed a partition suit with remaining 3 siblings. Out of the 3 siblings 2 are deceased (1 brother and 1 sister) hence their respective wife and children are included in the defendant. (overall 9 defendants) So Plaintiff is claiming for 1/4th of the share along with expenses he made on the properties/agricultural land to improve their state. Out of the listed properties in the partition suit, the estimate value plaintiff has mentioned is 4CR INR, with 1/4th share to be 1CR INR. Plaintiff is claiming 1CR + 45 lakhs (his expenses). Although the benefits of the investment have not been mentioned in the form of rents/crop harvest by Plaintiff and one of the Defendants. So in this case not sure if the document correctly represent this value. There is one lawyer being being appointed to represent all 11 defendants except one defendant who benefited from the rent and might have their own lawyer. I have two questions: I am one of the defendants in the suit. My mother(deceased) is one of the siblings, hence I get 1/4th of 1/4th share of this partition suit. Current estimate share as per the partition suit document is 25 lakhs INR. 1. The next hearing is on 19/12/2020 (looks like Lok Adalat in Karnataka is happening on the same date), should I hire a lawyer to request for more time given that I just got the notice recently. How can I access the case document online and not the case status. 2. How much is average lawyer fees for this partition suite if I hire my own layer to raise objections on the list of properties, his claim on expenses, etc. and go all the way. 3. How much is my Court fees i.e. defendant in this case? Is there a percentage of my share that I should be looking at for Karnataka state? Is there any online link that I can refer?

My dad has 3 male and 2 female siblings, so including my dad there are 4 sons and 2 daughters to my grand dad. there is only one small house, and a little agricultural land. about 15-18years ago, in presence of village elders, there was sharing process. as we are 3 daughters to my dad and only my dad and mom took care of my grand parents, the house was given only to my dad. and the agricultural land was shared btw all 4 sons of my grand parents. as the house was very old and because of the heavy rain, some part of the house collapsed. and we reconstructed almost 50% of our house and spent approx 3 lakhs. we lost our dad in an accident 4 years back, and now my uncles, siblings of my dad are asking the share in our house. and one of my uncle keeps coming to our house when my mom is alone and starts fighting with her. and there were no registration/legal document done during the last sharing of the assets, 15-16 years back. Can you suggest how we can tackle this problem, correctly/legally?

The area of this plot in land record map is not same with currently visible partitioned area. Currently its partitioned into 4 parts. Till now we know that, among these 4 parts 2 part belongs to My father and other 2 part belongs to brother of my father. Recently we applied to our RI office for demarcation of the same plot and came to know that all 4 parts of this land belongs to my Father as its under same plot no xxxx. Now problem is, My Father's brother not willing to give that 2 part area to my Father, saying it was allocated to him during partition. Partition was done in typical village style, My father's brother took 2.0 acre more land in comparison to my father's share,saying my father is child of 2nd wife of my grandfather. We don't want to loose this land. Please guide me ,How to get back that land? Thanks.
