Your Property. Your Contracts. Your Rights — Defended.

Civil cases in India can range from a few months (summary suits, consumer forums) to several years (complex property or contract disputes in District or High Courts). The timeline depends on the court, complexity of facts, number of witnesses, and whether the matter can be fast-tracked through interim relief or ADR. We always explore every avenue to accelerate resolution without compromising your substantive rights.

An injunction is a court order that either compels a party to do something (mandatory injunction) or restrains them from doing something (prohibitory injunction). You should seek one urgently when: construction is ongoing on disputed property, assets are being dissipated, confidential information is being misused, or any act is being done that would cause irreversible harm before the main case is decided. Timing is critical — we file injunction applications the same day when situations are urgent.

Yes, Indian civil courts have the power to award costs to the winning party under the Civil Procedure Code. Courts increasingly grant realistic cost orders in cases where the losing party's conduct was unreasonable or their claim/defence was clearly untenable. We argue for cost awards wherever appropriate to ensure that winning means recovering your full investment in the litigation.

Specific performance is a remedy where the court orders a party to actually perform their contractual obligation, rather than merely paying compensation. After the 2018 amendment to the Specific Relief Act, specific performance has become a right — not just a discretionary remedy — in most cases. It is particularly powerful in property sale agreements, where the unique nature of the property makes monetary compensation an inadequate substitute. We have secured specific performance decrees in complex multi-crore property transactions.

Act immediately. Document the encroachment with photographs, revenue records, and survey maps. Contact us for an emergency consultation — we will file a suit for recovery of possession, seek an interim injunction to halt any further construction, and apply for a court commissioner to inspect and record the site. Early legal intervention prevents the encroachment from solidifying and complicating your case. Time and evidence preservation are both critical in property matters.

Absolutely — and courts actively encourage it. Settlement can happen at any stage of litigation: through direct negotiation, Lok Adalat, court-referred mediation, or through an agreed compromise decree recorded by the court. A settlement reached with strong legal representation often delivers better outcomes than years of contested litigation. We advise our clients honestly on the merits of settlement versus continued litigation at every stage, based on the strength of your case and the cost-benefit analysis.
