Property Law, RERA, and Deed Disputes Explained
I provide clear guidance on complex property matters, from RERA complaints to sale deed cancellations, helping homeowners and investors navigate the law with practical, evidence-based solutions.
**Can a registered sale deed be cancelled? Yes, it can.** In this video, I explain the specific legal grounds for cancelling a sale deed, such as fraud, misrepresentation, or mutual consent. I clarify that this power lies with the Civil Court, not the registrar, and advise on the importance of seeking proper legal counsel before proceeding with a property dispute resolution.
Understanding adverse possession is crucial in property law. Here, I discuss a landmark 2024 Supreme Court judgment that clarifies the requirements for claiming ownership through adverse possession, including the need to prove undisturbed possession for over 12 years and knowledge of the original owner.
If you are an aggrieved homebuyer, filing a complaint under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, or RERA, is a critical step. I outline the process for filing a complaint with the RERA authority or adjudicating officer against a promoter or agent for any violation of the act.
In this session, I discuss the functions of the RERA authorities. Understanding their role is key for homebuyers seeking to resolve disputes with developers and ensure compliance with real estate regulations.
As a homebuyer, or allottee, you have specific rights and duties under RERA. I explain your entitlement to project information, sanctioned plans, and compensation for delays, as well as your obligation to take possession and make timely payments.
This video covers an important right for homebuyers under RERA. If a developer fails to deliver possession on time, you are entitled to a full refund of the amount paid, along with interest and compensation. I explain the conditions under which these claims can be made.
About Property Law Explained
Legal issues often stem from not knowing the correct procedure before a dispute escalates. Whether you are dealing with a non-performing builder under RERA or questioning the validity of a registered sale deed, the difference between a resolution and a drawn-out battle often lies in knowing exactly which forum to approach first—the Civil Court or the RERA authority. I focus on these practical procedural steps so you are not wasting time and money on the wrong legal path.
Understanding Your Property Rights
Navigating Indian property law requires more than just reading the text; it requires understanding the latest interpretations from the courts. My approach focuses on demystifying these complexities so you can make informed decisions.
RERA Complaints and Homebuyer Rights
If you are an aggrieved allottee, RERA is a powerful tool, but it must be used correctly. Many clients approach me only after years of delays, not realizing they could have claimed interest and compensation much earlier. Whether it is a project delay or a developer suspending business, you have the right to seek a full refund or compensation. I help you collate your Buyer-Builder agreements, payment receipts, and communication trails to build a strong complaint file for the RERA authority.
Sale Deed Cancellations
People frequently ask if a registered sale deed can be cancelled. The answer is yes, but the registrar does not have this power—the Civil Court does. You need specific grounds like fraud, undue influence, or non-fulfillment of contractual obligations to succeed. I assist in drafting the necessary suits and ensuring the court decree is properly executed to update your property records.
Adverse Possession
This is one of the most technical areas of property law. A 2024 Supreme Court judgment (Radheshyamlal vs. V Sandhya) highlighted the necessity of proving 'undisturbed possession' for over 12 years. If you are claiming ownership, you must show you had knowledge of the original owner and remained in open, continuous possession. I analyze the specific facts of your possession before advising on the viability of a suit.
My strategy sessions are designed to review your documentation—up to 50 pages—to give you an honest probability of success before we decide to litigate.
