Dear Experts Pranam!

My dad has been puchased a land with a small old house (its very old, so may not required consider as a house - or in a demolishing stage) in Kottayam, Kerala, 10+ years back from a person, named as Mr.SELLER and has been registered at the concerned Sub Reg. Office (SRO). And till the last year there is no issue on this and since its a land we will do frequent visit over there to check the fencing etc. are ok and whether it is secured/safe. But last year when we tried to make an attempt to sell and tried find a buyer for the same through some local persons BUT got a news that it is in a despute and some legal issues are there in the court which is surprised us. And after an enquiry we met a person named as Mr.SON who is filed the case on this land. The case was against his Mrs.MOTHER stating that she does not have any legal rights to sell the land to the so called Mr.SELLER (as above) since that land originaaly owned by her husband named as Mr. HUSBAND (he is already expired) and his two siblings/heirs - one sister and a brother. What we understand and told by Mr.SON is, he filed the case in 2014 and now in 2019 mid, as per the court order the case has been won by him and the property will be attached to him and the above siblings. Please be noted that the case was only between him and his mother. Unfortunately his mother also expired prior to the case finals, i,e. his winning.

We have consulted with a legal adviser and got a temperory stay/injection (saying that Mr.SON and siblings been interuupting/disturbing us from staying/residing at our property, so please do the needful to stop their torturing) for the immediate Attachment and so the court has been sent notices to Mr.SON and his siblings/heirs to let the hon.court know about their statements or sayings about this issues by producing their valid documents. THere are 6 persons from the siblings side in this case other than Mr.SON. 2 of them not interested to receive the notice and so become ex.pat. Other three persons addresses are not reachable and so repeated notices two times sent again. Mr. SON was escaping each time by not receving the Notice from Ameen and in the third time he informed the Ameen that he will not receive the notice and Ameen has been noted the info and communicatd to the Hon,Court on the same. THe most important part of this is other than Mr. SON, no one including the above said siblings are not interested in this case but it is by the compulsion of Mr. SON only did involve. by the meantime very unfortunately Mr.SON is expired, recently. He is having wife and two kids.

In this scenario now we are not much interested to drag this case further and wish to make a out of court settlement if possible without any legal issues. is it possible otherwise what else are the BEST and immediate Resulting solutions in this case. I am asking this to know about your opinions in this case please.

Thanking you  in advance, Regards
