Property Law
Protecting your rights in land and property
Suits for possession, declaration of title and injunction over immovable property.
Disputes over ownership, possession and boundaries of land and buildings are decided through civil suits for declaration, possession and injunction. Limitation, the chain of title and the documentary record usually determine the outcome.

- Your title to a property is being disputed by relatives or third parties
- A seller has failed to execute the sale deed after taking payment
- Construction is being raised in violation of your rights
How the process works
- Review of title documents, revenue records and the history of possession

- Legal notice where useful, followed by a suit and an injunction application
- Evidence, local commission or survey where needed, and arguments
- Execution of the decree to secure possession
Documents you may need
- Sale deed, gift deed, will or other title documents
- Mutation and revenue records, property tax receipts
- Approved site plan and building permissions, if relevant
- Photographs and any correspondence with the other party
How we can help
We first establish the strength of your title and whether your claim is within limitation. Where there is a threat of dispossession or construction, we seek urgent interim protection so the situation does not worsen while the case is decided.
