Protecting Property. Enforcing Rights. Resolving Disputes. Civil law governs the rights and obligations between individuals, families, organizations, and private parties. At Dhillon Law Firm, we specialize in handling a wide spectrum of civil disputes — from family partitions and property conflicts to contractual breaches and injunctions. Our litigation team, led by experienced counsels, delivers sharp legal strategies backed by deep-rooted knowledge of local land laws, revenue records, and procedural law.

Whether you are a landowner seeking possession, a business facing breach of contract, or a family member entangled in inheritance litigation — we ensure your rights are protected at every step.

Property Disputes

We handle all forms of disputes relating to immovable property, including:

  • Suits for Possession where you are unlawfully deprived of your land or house
  • Suits for Declaration of Title when your ownership is being questioned or denied
  • Partition & Separate Possession among family co-sharers in ancestral properties
  • Encroachment Cases and boundary disputes with adjoining landowners
  • I llegal Construction and Stay Orders to protect your property from damage or trespasss

We regularly work with land documents like Jamabandi, Khasra Girdawari, Mutation Entries, and Fard, ensuring your case is built on strong documentary evidence.

Injunctions (Temporary and Permanent)

Sometimes, urgent court intervention is needed to stop an unlawful act. We file:

  • Temporary Injunctions under Order 39 Rules 1 & 2 CPC to maintain status quo
  • Permanent Injunctions under Section 38 of the Specific Relief Act to prohibit a party from infringing your legal rights
  • Mandatory Injunctions under Section 39 to compel performance of legal duties

These are especially useful in preventing the sale of disputed property, blocking illegal constructions, or protecting easement rights like rasta (pathway) or water channels.

Contractual Disputes & Specific Performance

Contracts are binding, and when one party defaults, the other has the right to legal remedy. We deal with:

  • Breach of Contract suits for non-performance or non-payment
  • Suits for Specific Performance under Section 10 of the Specific Relief Act to enforce legally valid agreements
  • Cancellation of Contracts induced by fraud or misrepresentation under Section 31
  • Commercial Contract Enforcement, including business and property transactions

  • File Partition Suits and secure rightful division of propertyt
