Property Law

Property law in India is a complex and deeply rooted legal domain, governed by a mosaic of statutes, precedents, and customary practices. At our law firm, we offer comprehensive legal services in property law, addressing a broad spectrum of matters involving ownership, tenancy, acquisition, disputes, transactions, and inheritance. Our practice is designed to serve individuals, businesses, developers, institutions, and public authorities with clarity, precision, and reliable advocacy.

Understanding Property Law in India

Property law in India encompasses both movable and immovable property, with a primary focus in legal practice on the latter. Immovable property includes land, buildings, and rights attached to land. Indian property law draws from a blend of ancient customs, colonial-era legislations, and modern enactments.

Some of the key legislations governing property law include:

Transfer of Property Act, 1882
Indian Easements Act, 1882
Indian Stamp Act, 1899
Registration Act, 1908
Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 (RERA)
Land Acquisition Act, 2013
Urban Land (Ceiling and Regulation) Act, 1976 (now repealed in many states)
State-specific Tenancy Laws
Succession laws under Hindu, Muslim, and Christian personal laws

In addition to statutory laws, property disputes are often influenced by judicial precedents, customary rights, and administrative regulations.
