Partition, Boundary & Co-owner Disputes

What this covers

Co-owned and inherited land is held in undivided shares, and disputes are almost inevitable once the owners disagree. We handle partition suits to divide property by court order, boundary disputes over where one holding ends and another begins, and the co-owner conflicts that come with jointly held land.

Partition suits

When co-owners cannot agree an amicable division, a partition suit asks the court to divide the property, or, where it cannot be divided fairly, to order a sale and split the proceeds. We establish the correct shares, press for a division that matches possession and value, and see it through to a decree each owner can rely on.

Boundaries and encroachment

Where a neighbour or co-owner has crept over a boundary or built on your portion, we act to fix the line and recover what is yours, using the map, the record and, where needed, a survey.

What helps your case

• The khatian/porcha showing the co-owners and shares
• Inheritance or purchase documents establishing your share
• The mouza map and any survey of the boundaries
• Evidence of who possesses which portion

Where it is heard, and how long it takes

A contested partition or boundary suit generally runs from one to a few years. Where the dispute is really about possession of a portion, interim orders can protect your position while it is decided.
