What are Property Disputes?

Property disputes mean disputes pertaining to ownership, possession, transfer, or usage of property. Such disputes may occur in movable and immovable property but most frequently occur in real estate. More broadly, property disputes in India comprise:
  • Ancestral Property Conflicts – Disputes regarding inheritance or partition between members of a family.
  • Tenancy and Rent Disputes – Eviction, non-payment of rent, or landlord-tenant disputes.
  • Sale, Gift, and Lease Disputes – Fraud, misrepresentation, or defects in titles.
  • Boundary and Easement Disputes – Rights of way, boundary markings, or land use rights.
  • Illegal Possession and Encroachment – A third party occupying property without permission.
  • Fraudulent Transactions – Counterfeit sale deeds, unauthorized registration, or double-selling of property.
