Property Dispute Lawyer in Delhi NCR — Litigation, Title & Partition

It depends on the relief: a suit for possession based on title ordinarily has 12 years from dispossession, a pure declaration of title 3 years, and specific performance 3 years from when performance was due. Partition between co-owners often has no limitation until a co-owner is actually ousted. The safest step is to have an advocate check your exact dates — call us and we'll do it on the first call, free.

A partition suit is filed in the court where the property is situated, supported by the title chain, the family tree and any earlier settlement documents. The court first passes a preliminary decree declaring shares, then a final decree dividing the property. A registered partition deed by mutual consent is faster and cheaper where the family agrees — call us and we'll tell you which route fits your family's facts.

Yes. Daughters are coparceners with rights equal to sons in Hindu ancestral property, by birth — and the Supreme Court has confirmed this applies regardless of whether the father was alive when the 2005 amendment came into force. If your share is being denied on the ground that you're a daughter, that objection is legally dead. Call us to assert it properly.

Often, yes — through a family settlement, mediation, or a registered partition deed, all of which are dramatically faster and cheaper than a decree. A well-drafted settlement is also enforceable, which casual family arrangements are not. Call us; if settlement serves you better than a suit, that's exactly what we'll recommend.

Honestly: contested title suits commonly run several years, and partition matters often longer. Interim injunctions protect the property in the meantime, and mediation or settlement frequently shortcuts the whole process. Call us for a realistic estimate on your facts — we won't oversell the timeline.

You can sue for possession, seek mandatory and permanent injunctions, and apply for urgent interim orders stopping construction or sale. Speed matters — evidence fades and adverse-possession time runs. Call us as soon as you learn of the occupation.

A trespasser in hostile, continuous, open possession for 12 years can claim ownership by adverse possession — a real risk for owners who leave property unattended for years. Government land carries 30 years and can't be adversely possessed at all. If someone has been sitting on your land, call us before their clock helps them.

A proper title verification examines the 30-year chain and mother deed, encumbrance certificate, mutation and revenue records, approvals, pending-litigation search and the seller's authority to sell. It costs a fraction of one EMI and prevents the disputes on this page. Call us before you sign anything.

Primarily the registered sale deed with its prior chain, supported by mutation entries, property tax receipts and possession evidence such as utility connections. No single paper is conclusive — it's the consistent chain that persuades a court. Call us and we'll read your chain end to end.

A suit for specific performance can compel the transfer — but limitation is three years from when performance was due, and an injunction plus lis pendens registration should be filed immediately so the seller can't sell to someone else first. Call us before a third party enters the picture.

No. The Supreme Court has held that GPA and agreement-to-sell arrangements do not convey ownership — only a registered sale deed does. If you hold property on GPA papers, or are being offered one, call us to understand the risk and how to regularise it.

Attack it on both tracks at once: a civil suit for declaration and cancellation of the forged instrument with an injunction against further transfer, and a criminal complaint for forgery and cheating. Delay helps the forger create third-party rights. Call us the day you discover it.

Your written statement is ordinarily due within 30 days of service, extendable to 90 at the court's discretion — miss that window and the right to defend on the merits can be forfeited. Don't ignore the summons; an ex-parte decree is far harder to undo. Call us the day you're served.

A temporary injunction under Order 39 CPC freezes the position — stopping sale, construction or dispossession while the suit runs. In urgent cases courts can grant interim protection at the first hearing. It is usually the single most important early step in a property case. Call us today if the property is at risk of being altered or sold.
