The Property & Real Estate Desk handles title-verification, conveyancing, RERA, partition, mutation, succession, and tenancy articles. Practitioners on the bench appear regularly before the Sub-Registrar offices in major cities, MahaRERA (Mumbai), RERA Karnataka, UP RERA, the Co-operative Court (Mumbai), Bombay HC writ side for redevelopment matters, Karnataka HC for BBMP/BDA disputes, and Madras HC for CMDA/DTCP regularisation. The desk has substantial documentation-review experience across DDA leasehold-to-freehold conversions in Delhi, A-khata/B-khata/gramathana issues in Bangalore, MahaRERA registrations and builder-buyer disputes in Mumbai, GIFT-City IFSC frameworks in Ahmedabad, and Dharani-portal title issues in Telangana. The bench's senior member is co-author of the platform's 8-city property-law landing-page series.

Indian property fraud is mostly preventable — and almost entirely about title verification. This 12-point checklist walks through the legal due-diligence sequence used by the property bar before any sale deed is executed: from RTC/khata extracts and EC searches to conversion orders, encumbrances, and pending litigation.
Property & Real EstateThe Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act 2016 created the fastest consumer-redress route in Indian property law. A well-prepared RERA complaint can deliver a refund-with-interest order in 6-12 months, against builder timelines that civil suits would take 8-12 years to resolve.
Property & Real EstateAfter a death in the family, two documents are constantly confused: the legal heir certificate (for pensions, PF, and benefits) and the succession certificate (for collecting the deceased's debts and securities). They are issued by different authorities for different purposes. This guide explains exactly which one you need.
Practical GuidanceA valid will does not legally have to be registered — but registration adds powerful evidentiary weight. This guide covers the Section 63 requirements for a valid will, the two-witness rule, the Sub-Registrar registration procedure, cost, and when probate is required.
Property & Real EstateAlmost every Indian rent agreement is for 11 months — and there is a precise legal reason. This guide explains the 11-month rule, when registration becomes compulsory, stamp duty, the difference between a lease and a leave-and-license, and the clauses your agreement must include.
Property & Real EstateA delayed or defective flat gives the buyer two parallel statutory remedies — a RERA complaint under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act 2016, or a consumer complaint under the Consumer Protection Act 2019. The Supreme Court has held that the buyer may choose either. This guide explains how to choose well: which forum is faster, which pays more, which enforces better, and the forum-shopping traps that can cost a careless litigant years.
