Property disputes may concern title, possession, partition, boundaries, specific performance, tenancy, inheritance, sale transactions or enforcement of contractual rights. The documents and chain of title are central to understanding the dispute.
Initial document review
Relevant records may include sale deeds, conveyances, allotment letters, mutation and revenue entries, sanctioned plans, possession records, tax receipts, succession documents, prior agreements, notices and court orders. Revenue or mutation entries may be relevant but should not automatically be treated as conclusive proof of title.
Transfer, registration and title
The Transfer of Property Act, 1882 contains important provisions governing transfers of property. Registration requirements are addressed under the Registration Act, 1908 and other applicable laws. Local development, revenue, tenancy and municipal laws may also be relevant.
Common civil remedies
Depending on the cause of action, proceedings may seek declaration, injunction, possession, partition, specific performance, cancellation or other relief. The correct remedy depends on the legal interest asserted, parties, limitation, jurisdiction and available evidence.
Preserving evidence
Keep originals safely, maintain a chronology of transactions and communications, obtain certified copies where required and avoid making informal changes to disputed property. For court status and official orders, use the High Court of Delhi and Delhi District Courts portals.
