Property & Civil Disputes

Title, partition, possession, tenancy and specific performance before the district courts and the Delhi High Court.

What we do

Typical matters

  • Declaration of title and cancellation of documents
  • Partition among co-owners and family settlements
  • Recovery of possession and mesne profits
  • Specific performance of agreements to sell
  • Landlord and tenant disputes; eviction
  • Injunctions restraining alienation or dispossession

Property litigation is decided on documents and on possession. The firm acts in suits for declaration of title, partition among co-owners, recovery of possession and specific performance of agreements to sell, and in the injunction proceedings that usually accompany them.

We advise before a suit is filed as well: on what the chain of title actually establishes, on limitation, and on whether the relief sought is one a court can grant.

  • Transfer of Property Act, 1882
  • Specific Relief Act, 1963
  • Code of Civil Procedure, 1908
  • Delhi Rent Control Act, 1958
  • Limitation Act, 1963
