Property Dispute Resolution & Arbitration

Property disputes constitute one of the largest categories of Indian civil litigation, contributing to 60-80% of pendency in some States. Categories include title disputes, partition / inheritance, possession (forcible / constructive), specific performance of agreements, builder-buyer disputes, society / RWA disputes, encroachment and tenancy. While civil litigation remains the default forum, Alternate Dispute Resolution (ADR) — particularly mediation under the Mediation Act, 2023 and arbitration under the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 — increasingly resolves property disputes faster and more cost-effectively. Arbitration of property disputes is permitted unless rights in rem (inheritance, partition decrees) are involved. We handle every type of property dispute — pre-litigation cease-and-desist, structured negotiation, mediation, sole / 3-arbitrator arbitration, civil suits (partition, declaration, injunction, specific performance), revisions, second appeals and Supreme Court SLPs. We integrate strategy, procedure and execution.
