Common questions
My land has been grabbed. What can I do?
File a GD and keep your title and possession papers ready. Under the Land Crime Prevention and Remedy Act 2023, illegal occupation is punishable with up to two years' imprisonment and a fine. A suit under section 9 of the Specific Relief Act to recover possession must be filed within six months of dispossession.
How long does a partition suit take?
A contested partition suit often runs for several years, through a preliminary decree, a survey and a final decree. A registered bontonnama agreed by all co-owners is much faster, and settlement remains possible during the suit.
Can a forged deed be cancelled?
Yes, by a civil suit for cancellation, usually alongside a criminal complaint for forgery. Time limits run from when you learnt of the deed, so act quickly.
What is a pre-emption case?
A co-sharer of a holding can ask the court to let them buy land that another co-sharer sold to an outsider. Strict time limits apply; our pre-emption guide explains who can file and when.
How do I correct a wrong khatian?
Before the final record, object at the survey stage. After it is final, file a case before the Land Survey Tribunal with your deeds and evidence of possession.
