Before You Buy: Title Verification

Many disputes can be avoided with a proper title search. This usually means checking the chain of ownership documents, the property card or 7/12 extract, the Index II records, society and builder approvals such as the commencement and occupancy certificates, RERA registration and pending litigation or encumbrances. See our practice note on property and housing laws for reference.

Legal Remedies Available

Depending on the case, remedies include a suit for declaration, injunction, partition or possession in the civil court, specific performance of an agreement under the Specific Relief Act, 1963, a dispute under Section 91 of the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act, 1960 before the Co-operative Court, complaints before MahaRERA, and criminal remedies for forgery or cheating where facts disclose an offence.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which court handles a property dispute in Mumbai?

It depends on the dispute. Ownership and possession suits go to the civil court (City Civil Court or the High Court depending on value), society disputes to the Co-operative Court, tenancy matters to the Small Causes Court and builder complaints to MahaRERA.

How long does a property case take?

Timelines vary widely by court and case. Settlement, where possible, is usually much faster than a trial.

Can I stop someone from selling a disputed property?

In a suit you can ask the court for an interim injunction. Whether it is granted depends on the facts and the documents.

How do I check if a property title is clear?

Have an advocate verify the chain of documents and official records, and search for litigation and encumbrances before you pay.

What if my property is in joint family ownership?

A partition by agreement or through the court can divide it. We advise on shares and draft a partition deed.
