Sir,
In India, do children have any share in the property? My father has property (all on his name - not earned by his parents) beyond his earning capacity (since he was a Govt. employee) but earned by all the members of the family. We do not have any proof that we the children have contributed our income to the family. There is no proof either as to from where he (our father) has got or earned all the cash/bank balance & property. Now he wants us to leave empty handed & he has filed a civil suit stating that the property is his own earned. Can the Indian court grant us any justice?
There was a meeting held by the elders /relatives who had decided that the two sons be given two flats to live & that the business premises occupied by the sons be left to them.

The children have no right over the self acquired property of their father. But they have coparcenery rights in the inherited property. If they prove that the property belonging to their father purchased by him, then the courts certainly do justice to them.

If you are indicating that your father's known income could not have helped him in generating the wealth he has generated, and would like to take this as an argument to get your share, you all might lose. The courts might ask for investigation, if he was corrupt etc. So the better approach is through discussion and dialog with your father.
