Suits for declaration, partition, injunction and specific performance, tenancy and title disputes, and execution of decrees.
Civil litigation can be slow, which makes preparation and the choice of the right remedy important. Property disputes in particular turn on title documents, revenue records and the history of possession.
What this work involves
- Title and declaration suits, and challenges to sale deeds and other instruments
- Partition and family property disputes
- Injunctions, temporary and permanent, to protect possession or restrain a threatened act
- Specific performance of agreements to sell and other contracts
- Landlord and tenant disputes, including eviction
- Execution of decrees and orders
- Appeals and revisions before the District Courts and the High Court of Karnataka
Approach
The documents are reviewed first: title chain, agreements, encumbrances and revenue records. Clients receive a candid view of the likely duration and cost, and of settlement options where they make sense.
