► I with my elder brother living in the property in our late father's name who didn't leave any will or name of his nominee. I'd been under treatment by various psychiatrists for more than 25 years. My brother wants to sell the property but I don't. My query is -can my brother sell the property without my consent on the ground that I am mentally ill?

Hi, 

 

No, your brother cannot sell the property. 

However, it is better that you file a partition suit aagainst your brother and get the property demarcated as because 50% of the property will be yours. Once demarcation is done, your bother will be able to sell only 50% (his part) of the property which will be demarcated by the court.
