WHAT WE HANDLE
Types of Property Disputes We Handle in Patiala
Every property matter is different. We cover the full range — from family partition suits to criminal property fraud — so you never need to look elsewhere.
Partition Suits
Civil Court · Revenue Court
When co-owners or legal heirs cannot agree on the division of jointly held property, a partition suit is filed under the Partition Act, 1893. We secure your rightful share of ancestral and self-acquired property — including agricultural land across Punjab — through civil court proceedings or by negotiated settlement where appropriate.
Title & Ownership Disputes
Declaration Suit · Title Verification
Disputes over who legally owns a property are common — especially with old unregistered deeds, competing sale agreements, or forged documents. We scrutinise title documents, fard jamabandi records, and mutation entries to establish clear ownership before the court. We also pursue declaration suits to have your title judicially confirmed.
Illegal Possession & Encroachment
Possession Suit · Eviction
If someone has unlawfully occupied your land or house, you can seek eviction through a civil suit for possession or revenue court proceedings. We file and argue suits for recovery of possession and injunctions to halt further encroachment — even when powerful or politically connected parties are involved. We do not step back from difficult opponents.
Property Fraud & Cheating
Criminal Complaint · Civil Suit
Fraudulent sale deeds, impersonation by sellers, and double-selling of the same property are rising concerns across Punjab. We handle both the criminal complaint angle (Section 316/318 BNS) and the civil suit for cancellation of fraudulent documents simultaneously — applying maximum legal pressure from both directions at once.
Cancellation of Sale / Gift Deed
Civil Court · Revenue Court
A sale deed or gift deed executed under fraud, coercion, undue influence, or misrepresentation can be challenged and cancelled through the civil courts. We have successfully argued cancellation suits in Patiala Civil courts and before the Revenue Courts — overturning documents that appeared final and valid on the surface.
Injunction & Stay Orders
Urgent Relief · Temporary Injunction
Where there is imminent risk of demolition, illegal construction, or hurried transfer of disputed property, we obtain urgent temporary injunction orders to freeze the status quo while the main case proceeds. Speed matters here — we move within hours of being briefed when circumstances demand it.
Specific Performance
Specific Relief Act 1963
If a seller refuses to execute the final sale deed after receiving the advance amount, we file a suit for specific performance under the Specific Relief Act, 1963 — compelling the other party to honour the agreement they signed. Where specific performance cannot be granted, we claim compensation as an alternative.
Inheritance & Succession Disputes
Hindu Succession Act · Indian Succession Act
Disputes over who inherits property — governed by the Hindu Succession Act, 1956 and customary law in Punjab — frequently arise between siblings, widows, and distant relatives. We represent all parties in succession disputes, including applications for Letters of Administration, Succession Certificates, and probate of wills.
Tenancy & Rent Disputes
Rent Controller
Under the East Punjab Rent Restriction Act, 1949, disputes between landlords and tenants over eviction, rent arrears, or unauthorised use of premises are adjudicated before the Rent Controller. We represent both landlords and tenants before the Rent Controller, Patiala — ensuring the correct legal procedure is followed from day one.
Revenue Court Matters
Mutation · Jamabandi · Fard
Many property matters in Punjab begin at the revenue level — mutations (intkal), jamabandi corrections, entries in the register of rights (fard), and agricultural land disputes. We represent clients before the SDM, divisional Commissioner and the Financial Commissioner (Revenue), Punjab — navigating the distinct procedural rules with precision.
NRI Property Disputes
NRI Clients · Power of Attorney
Non-Resident Indians frequently face illegal occupation, fraudulent sale, or disputed mutation of property left in Punjab. We act as the eyes and ears of NRI clients — appearing in court, managing power of attorney matters, and keeping clients fully informed via video calls regardless of which country they are in.
Builder & Real Estate Disputes
Builder Fraud · Consumer Forum
If a builder has failed to deliver possession, diverted funds, or sold the same flat to multiple buyers, we handle civil suits for possession, damages, and refund — and advise on the appropriate forum based on the facts of each case.
WHY CLIENTS CHOOSE US
Hundreds of families and businesses across Patiala have trusted us with their most valuable asset. Here is why.

OUR PROCESS
How We Handle Your Property Case — Step by Step
From the first conversation to the final decree, here is exactly how Advocate Khaira approaches a property dispute in Patiala.
FAQs
If your father passed away without a will, his property is divided equally among all legal heirs under the Hindu Succession Act, 1956 — sons, daughters, widow, and sometimes others. If a co-heir is refusing to give you your share, you can file a Partition Suit in the civil court in Patiala.
This is a very common situation in Punjab. After buying property, the revenue record — called the fard jamabandi — needs to be updated in your name through mutation or intkal. Until this is done, the government still shows the old owner’s name.
We file a suit for recovery of possession in the civil court asking the court to order the person to vacate your land. If there is immediate risk of construction or damage, we also apply for a Temporary Injunction the same day — an urgent court order stopping any further activity on the property while the main case is heard. The longer someone occupies your land without challenge, the more complicated the matter becomes. Act quickly.
File a formal written complaint before the Tehsildar, then escalate to the SDM if needed. If both do nothing, we file Civil Suit and writ petition, directing the Revenue Department to complete your mutation. Courts treat government inaction very seriously. In our experience even receiving the Court notice causes the revenue authorities to complete the mutation almost immediately.
You do not need to be in India to fight this. You give a trusted person a Power of Attorney and we handle everything — filing the criminal fraud complaint, the civil suit for cancellation of fraudulent documents, and recovery of possession. We communicate with NRI clients by video call or WhatsApp after every hearing. Two things every NRI must do proactively: get their name mutated in the jamabandi and ensure any Power of Attorney issued is current and in trusted hands.
