Civil & Property Law.
Most civil matters are won long before the hearing — in the documents, the pleadings and the timeline. That's where the preparation begins.

Overview
Civil and property matters are handled at the District Courts and before the Punjab & Haryana High Court, for individuals, families and small businesses. Property files are read line by line: the chain of title, the mutation record, the sale deed, the possession history and every notice already exchanged.
Where a matter can be settled through a registered agreement, a compromise decree or mediation, that's said plainly at the first meeting. Where it cannot, the suit is drafted to be won — not merely filed.
Property disputes, ownership and title claims, partition, possession and recovery suits, injunctions and general civil litigation.
What's Handled
The work, set out plainly.
Title & ownership disputes
Declaration suits, cancellation of sale deeds, benami and fraudulent transfer claims.
Partition & possession
Partition of ancestral and joint family property, mesne profits and eviction of unauthorised occupants.
Recovery & money suits
Recovery of dues under Order XXXVII summary suits, loan and advance recovery.
Injunctions & stay
Urgent temporary injunctions to protect possession, construction or transfer of property.
How The Matter Runs
Four movements, always in the same order.
01
Documents
Title chain, revenue records and prior notices are read before any advice is given.
02
Opinion
A written view on merits, limitation, forum and realistic timeline.
03
Filing
Pleadings drafted personally, filed and pressed for interim relief.
04
Trial
Evidence, cross-examination and arguments conducted by the Advocate, not a junior.
Before You Meet
What to bring to the first meeting.
A focused first meeting is a fast one. Bring whatever's available — originals aren't required at this stage — and you'll usually leave with a clear view of where you stand.
Sale deed / title documents
Latest encumbrance certificate
Mutation extract / revenue records
Property tax receipts, if available
Any notices or orders already received
Photographs, where possession is disputed
Recognise Any Of This?
Situations often seen.
Most people don't arrive with a legal category in mind — they arrive with a situation. A few that come up often:
A relative is occupying ancestral property without consent, or renting it out without telling the other heirs.
A builder is delaying possession for years, or won't execute the sale deed despite full payment.
A neighbour's construction or boundary wall has encroached onto the property.
A property was sold or mortgaged without the owner's knowledge — often through a misused power of attorney.
A tenant is refusing to vacate after the lease has ended, or has stopped paying rent.
A title check on a property being purchased has turned up a prior claim, lien or pending litigation.
Before You Ask
Questions, answered.
How long does a property suit take?
Interim relief is usually decided within weeks; a full trial can take two to four years. An honest timeline is given in writing at the outset.
Can an old sale deed be cancelled?
Yes, on grounds of fraud, coercion or want of title — subject to the limitation period, which is checked first.
