Property & Real Estate Disputes

Property and real estate disputes are handled with a clear focus on title, possession and enforceability of rights. Stratum Juris represents clients in disputes involving ownership, transfer, development and regulatory compliance under the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, the Registration Act, 1908 and the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016.

Matters often involve competing claims over title, possession or contractual rights arising from real estate transactions. Each dispute is approached with a structured evaluation of documents and legal position before proceedings are initiated.

  • Title disputes and declaration suits
  • Possession and eviction proceedings
  • Partition and co-ownership disputes
  • Builder-buyer and delayed possession claims

How Matters Are Handled

Close scrutiny of title documents, possession status and transactional history forms the starting point. The focus remains on identifying structural weaknesses early and aligning proceedings in a manner that strengthens the client's position from the outset.

Attention is given to revenue records, registered instruments, encumbrances and prior transactions to establish a clear legal position before initiating or responding to proceedings. Where disputes involve multiple claimants or layered transactions, the approach remains focused on isolating the strongest legal position and structuring proceedings to reinforce it, while addressing competing claims through appropriate reliefs and procedural measures.

Strategic Focus

  • Early-stage title and document analysis
  • Identification of gaps in ownership or possession claims
  • Effective use of interim reliefs to secure property interests
  • Structured handling of builder and RERA disputes
  • Focus on achieving finality and enforceable outcomes

Enforcement & Recovery

Emphasis remains on obtaining reliefs that secure possession, protect title or enforce contractual rights. Proceedings are structured to ensure that interim protections translate into final, enforceable outcomes.
