Land disputes arise from various issues. Our land dispute lawyer in Kolkata handles title disputes (who actually owns the land), boundary disputes (encroachment by neighbors), partition disputes (division of jointly owned land), possession disputes (who is entitled to occupy), land grabbing (forcible occupation), mortgage disputes (issues with secured loans), adverse possession claims (acquiring title through long possession), and land acquisition by government (compensation disputes).

When ownership is disputed, a title suit is filed to establish ownership rights. Our land dispute lawyer in Kolkata files declaration suits under the Specific Relief Act asking the court to declare the plaintiff's title and possessory rights. The plaintiff must prove better title through documentary evidence — sale deeds, gift deeds, inheritance documents, mutation records, tax receipts, and possession evidence. The court examines the chain of title and determines who has the better right. We also handle suits for cancellation of documents (if a deed is fraudulent or void) and suits for permanent injunction to prevent interference with possession.
When land is jointly owned and co-owners cannot agree on division, a partition suit is the remedy. Our land dispute lawyer in Kolkata handles partition suits under the Hindu Succession Act or the Partition Act. The plaintiff must prove joint ownership and entitlement to a share. The court passes a decree for partition declaring the shares and appoints a commissioner to physically divide the property. If physical division is not possible, the court orders a sale and distribution of proceeds. We handle all stages from filing to final division. We also explore out-of-court partition through registered partition deeds to avoid litigation.
Boundary disputes between neighbors are common. Our land dispute lawyer in Kolkata handles boundary disputes by examining title documents and revenue records to determine the correct boundaries, obtaining a surveyor's report from the District Sub-Registrar or private licensed surveyor, filing a suit for permanent injunction if the neighbor has encroached, seeking mandatory injunction to remove encroachment, and handling appeals before higher courts. We also assist in amicable resolution through boundary agreements.
When the government acquires private land for public purposes, the landowner is entitled to compensation under the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013. Our land dispute lawyer in Kolkata represents landowners in obtaining fair compensation, filing objections to the acquisition, challenging the acquisition notification on legal grounds, arguing before the Collector for higher compensation, filing reference petitions before the civil court under Section 64, and appearing before the Land Acquisition Tribunal. We ensure landowners receive the market value, solatium (30%), and interest as prescribed by law.
Adverse possession allows a person in continuous, uninterrupted possession for 12+ years to claim ownership of the land. Our land dispute lawyer in Kolkata handles adverse possession claims. The claimant must prove actual, open, continuous, hostile (against the owner's interest), and exclusive possession for the statutory period. The owner's right to recover the land is extinguished after 12 years of adverse possession. We also defend owners against adverse possession claims by showing that possession was permissive (with the owner's permission) or not continuous.
Our land dispute lawyer in Kolkata has deep knowledge of Kolkata's land records system, revenue procedures, and civil litigation. We guide clients through the complex maze of title verification, revenue records, and court proceedings. Contact us for a free consultation.
