Property litigation in India typically takes 2-5 years for trial court judgment, longer if appeals follow. Complex cases with multiple parties, unclear titles, or extensive evidence take more time. Factors affecting duration: court workload, number of defendants, documentary evidence clarity, and whether mediation succeeds. We expedite through proper case management and strategic litigation.

Yes. The 2005 amendment to Hindu Succession Act grants daughters equal coparcenary rights in ancestral property. Daughters born before or after 2005 have equal rights as sons. They can demand partition and are liable for debts. This applies to Hindu, Buddhist, Jain, and Sikh families. Other religions follow different personal laws with varying daughter’s rights.

Property ownership is primarily determined by whose name appears on title documents. However, courts consider the “source of funds” doctrine—if joint family funds or ancestral money purchased property in one member’s name, other members can claim rights. You must prove: funds came from joint family, property was intended for family benefit, not sole individual ownership. Strong evidence and documentation required.

Yes, though challenging probate judgments is difficult. You must prove the probate was obtained through fraud, concealment of material facts, or procedural irregularities. Time limits apply—typically challenge within the limitation period from when you discovered the fraud. Success requires substantial evidence that probate court’s decision was fundamentally flawed or obtained illegally.

If you’ve filed suit and obtained injunction, any sale violates court orders—such transactions can be declared void. The buyer purchases property with notice of pending litigation (doctrine of lis pendens) and is bound by eventual court decision. We can implead the buyer as a party and challenge the transaction. This is why obtaining early injunctions is crucial.

Yes. Coparceners have absolute right to demand partition of joint Hindu family property—no one can deny partition rights. Courts can order partition even if some members object. The court determines shares, appoints commissioners for physical division, and ensures fair distribution. For properties that cannot be physically divided, courts order sale and proceeds distribution among entitled parties.
