How to file a partition suit in Chandigarh?

Joint family property disputes are common. Partition Suithelps legal heirs separate their shares. The process involves:

  1. Preliminary Decree: The court determines the share of each heir.
  2. Final Decree: The actual physical division of the property (by metes and bounds) is carried out.

If the property cannot be divided physically (e.g., a single house), the court may order its sale and distribution of proceeds. We also explore Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) to resolve family partitions amicably.

How to get specific performance of contract in Chandigarh?

If a seller backs out of a property deal after signing an Agreement to Sell, you can file a suit for Specific Performance of Contract. Under the Specific Relief Act, courts can compel the defaulting party to honor the contract and transfer the property.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the court fee for civil suits in Chandigarh?

Court fees in Chandigarh are ad-valorem, meaning they are calculated as a percentage of the suit value (e.g., the amount claimed in a recovery suit or the market value of the property).

Can I claim interest in a money recovery suit?

Yes, you can claim pre-litigation interest, pendente lite interest (during the case), and future interest (after the decree) usually at 6% to 18% per annum, depending on the nature of the transaction.

What is the difference between a permanent and mandatory injunction?

A Permanent Injunction stops a party from doing something forever (e.g., stopping construction), while a Mandatory Injunction seeks a direction to do something (e.g., demolishing an illegal wall).

What is the limitation period for civil suits?

Most civil suits have a 3-year limitation (e.g., recovery of money, specific performance), 12 years for possession of immovable property, and 30 years for redemption of mortgage.
