Frequently Asked Questions
A partition suit is filed to legally divide jointly owned property among co-owners — commonly among siblings after the death of a parent. It should be filed when the co-owners cannot agree on a mutually acceptable division. The court can pass a preliminary decree for partition and a final decree specifying each party's share.
You can file an application for a temporary injunction in the Civil Court to immediately stop the construction or encroachment, pending the final decision of the court. If the matter is urgent, courts can grant an ex-parte (one-sided) interim injunction on the same day. You should also file a complaint with the local municipal authority (MCD/NDMC/DDA).
A sale deed is the document executed at the time of sale that transfers ownership from seller to buyer. A title deed is a broader term for any document that evidences ownership — it includes sale deeds, gift deeds, will, inheritance certificates, and court decrees. A chain of valid title deeds establishes clear, marketable title to property.
