Property disputes,
where the file is the case

Property litigation is document litigation. The dispute is usually decided by a chain of instruments, whether they were registered, whether they were stamped, and whether somebody moved in time. The work is holding that chain together over years of adjournments.

What it applies

The law this practice runs on

AdvocatePro reads a property disputes matter against the provisions that actually decide it.

  • Transfer of Property Act, 1882
  • Specific Relief Act, 1963, and the Registration Act
  • Limitation — Article 58 for declaration, Articles 64 and 65 for possession
  • Order 39 Rules 1 and 2 CPC, for interim injunctions
What it checks

Before the matter gets away from you

Chain of title

Each instrument in the chain, whether it was registered, whether it was properly stamped, and where the link breaks.

Limitation, computed

Declaration under Article 58 and possession under Articles 64 and 65 run from different events. The platform holds the dates the computation depends on.

Parties and prior litigation

Non-joinder of co-owners, and res judicata arising from an earlier partition suit that nobody remembered to check.

Court fee and valuation

Valuation for court fee, including Section 7(iv)(c), flagged at intake rather than at the return of the plaint.

What it watches

The dates that decide it

In the product

What that looks like day to day

Property Disputes

Document vault per matter

Title deeds, mutation records and certified copies held against the case, searchable, with missing evidentiary links called out.

Property Disputes

Hearing dates from the court record

Next dates pulled from eCourts rather than transcribed from a note, so an adjournment does not quietly become a default.

Property Disputes

Interim relief prepared properly

Prima facie case, balance of convenience and irreparable injury addressed as three separate limbs, because that is how they are decided.
