A land sale that took place nearly two decades ago in Bengaluru has now led to a legal dispute. The daughter of the man who sold the land in 2006 has sent a legal notice to the current owners, claiming that the property was sold without her consent.The property, located under BBMP limits, was sold by the father of the woman who is now demanding compensation. According to the buyer, who shared their experience on Reddit, the sale was done directly by the seller, and no Power of Attorney (POA) was involved. The buyer also stated that they have been paying property taxes regularly since then, and the Khata certificate is in the name of their father, who bought the land.Now, 19 years later, the seller's daughter claims she was not asked or informed before the sale. She is demanding compensation even though she was not a minor at the time. In fact, the buyer claims the seller himself had said the land was sold to arrange his daughter's marriage.The seller's son initially said it was a family matter and would be sorted amicably. But months later, he told the buyers that they would be taking legal action and advised them to get a lawyer.However, more recently, the tone changed again. The seller's son is now pushing for an out-of-court settlement and is allegedly using mild threats, saying things like, 'What if the judge rules in her favour?'The buyer said they felt pressured to settle and mentioned that the seller's son cited other cases where buyers had paid to resolve similar issues privately.Lawyers have assured the buyer that they are on strong legal ground, as they hold proper sale deeds and documents. Many users on Reddit supported the buyer, with one saying, 'If all papers are in place and records match government data, you should be fine.'Another user warned that this might be part of a family inheritance issue, where the daughter, possibly left out of the property share, is trying to claim her part through the buyers.Inputs from agencies

Pakistan caught red-handed again: FATF's new report exposes the dirty tricks of Islamabad

The Bill of Lading, submitted with the consignment, showed a direct connection between the importing party and Pakistan's National Development Complex, a facility known for developing long-range ballistic missiles. This detail was first reported by The Times of India (TOI).FATF noted that such dual-use goods can support missile and weapons development programmes when exported without proper declarations. The watchdog cited the Pakistan-linked case as a key example of how weak export controls and mis-declarations can lead to violations of international case also reinforces FATF's growing concerns around the global trade in proliferation-sensitive goods. The watchdog said this incident illustrates how state-linked entities may attempt to bypass regulations by disguising the nature and end use of sensitive its broader statement, FATF also referred to a terror attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir, on April 22, which resulted in the deaths of 26 people. 'The April 22 attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir, which claimed 26 lives, would not have been possible without financial support,' the FATF said in its report. It added that a detailed document covering terror financing cases — including those linked to state-sponsored actors — will be released told PTI that the FATF's decision to publicly mention the Kashmir incident marked a rare but clear signal from the international body.

He later used this knowledge to help build Pakistan's nuclear programme and exported the same expertise to Iran, North Korea and Libya through a global black-market network. 'He reportedly earned $100 million from Libya alone,' the report AQ Khan network was exposed in 2003 and was found to have operated through a complex web of intermediaries across more than 20 countries.
