Civil & Property Law FAQs
Common questions about civil and property cases and procedures.
How long does a property partition suit take?
Partition suits typically take 3-7 years depending on complexity, number of parties, and court backlog. The process involves filing suit, appointing commissioner for division, valuation, and final division. Amicable settlements through family arrangements are faster.
What is the difference between temporary and permanent injunction?
Temporary injunction (interim injunction) is granted during pendency of suit to maintain status quo. Permanent injunction is granted after full trial as final relief. Temporary injunctions require proving prima facie case, balance of convenience, and irreparable injury.
Can I sell a property that is in dispute?
You can sell disputed property, but you must disclose the dispute to the buyer. The sale may be subject to court outcome. Property with lis pendens (pending suit) notice requires court permission for sale. Undisclosed disputes can lead to cancellation of sale and legal action.
What is adverse possession and how is it claimed?
Adverse possession is acquiring title by continuous, hostile, open possession for 12+ years (30+ years for government land). The possessor must prove actual, continuous, exclusive, hostile possession without owner's permission. It's a legal defense, not a right that can be actively claimed.
How is court fee calculated for property suits?
Court fee is based on suit valuation determined by market value or annual rent. For possession suits: 30% of market value. For partition: fixed fee or value of share. For declaration with consequential relief: based on relief value. Proper valuation is crucial to avoid rejection.
What documents are essential for property title verification?
Essential documents include: 1) 30+ years title deeds chain, 2) 30+ years encumbrance certificate, 3) Property tax receipts, 4) Khata/mutation records, 5) Survey sketch, 6) Approved building plans, 7) Sale agreement, 8) Parent documents. Missing links require affidavit explanation.
