Regarding the objection on appointment letter by relatives.

Question

► My father has got the land from his paternal uncle as a gift to get a government job in the year 1998, the RTC and mutations are all in the name of my father legally. I am now claiming a job under land loser quota as the land gifted to my dad was legally acquired by KIADB which later was moved to KPCL for power plant. Now all the documents are scrutinized and i was about to get my joining letter the relatives that is my dads uncle's daughters have objected stating that its their land and the government shouldnt provide the job to me in the end moment. They even tried to extort money by blackmailing on the last day of objection, when i didnt agree for that they have formally submitted the letter to the power plant. My question is , do they have a legal obligation to snatch away my job or have any legal right to claim it back a their? Note- Acquisition happened in 2003 through Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Board Land transferred to Karnataka Power Corporation Limited MY father’s name was in notification + award Compensation recognized in his name MY father is now deceased I have received a job order (under land-loser quota) Now my father’s cousins suddenly object claiming it was theirs before 1998. Kindly help on this.

Dear client,

As the title to the land was transferred to your father in 1998 via gift and you were given a job earlier than your father's cousins have objected to, they cannot challenge his ownership of the property without doing so legally in a civil court.

Your father's cousin's objections will not automatically cancel out your job offer due to their objection. They have the burden of proof in a civil court to prove that the transfer made in 1998 was illegal or invalid. Until such time as a court will overturn that transfer, the acquisition and government records are valid.

In any event, that you have been provided a job through the land-loser quota, administrative authorities rely on the acquisition record rather than on family matters that occurred after the acquisition, which were brought up by your father's cousins.

Go ahead and send them a letter along with the following documents: gift deed, RTC, mutation entry, acquisition notification, and compensation award. These documents will show that you have a valid job offer.

If they continue with extortion, you should also consider making a police report against them. Their late lodging of an objection will not affect your rights.
