Title, possession and recovery
Writ Petitions
Article 226 petitions before the Madras High Court against an authority's action, inaction or refusal to decide.
How We Run It
What instructing us looks like
Every matter differs. These are the steps this practice takes as a matter of course, before anything is filed.
The chain of title is traced and an opinion given before a suit is filed, not after the written statement arrives.
Interim injunction applied for on the day of filing where possession is at risk — an order after dispossession is worth far less.
Limitation checked first, every time. It is the defence that ends a case without a trial.
Within This Practice
Civil Law
Property & Title Disputes
Declaration of title, cancellation of a void document, and recovery of possession from a trespasser or a former tenant.
Partition Suits
Division of joint family and co-owned property, preliminary and final decree, and the commissioner's report that settles the metes and bounds.
Specific Performance
Enforcing an agreement to sell — readiness and willingness pleaded and proved, which is where most of these suits fail.
Injunctions
Order 39 applications for temporary injunction, and appeals where one has been refused or granted ex parte.
Recovery of Money
Summary suits under Order 37 on a written instrument, and ordinary recovery suits where the debt is disputed.
Succession & Legal Heirship
Legal heirship certificates, succession certificates for securities and deposits, and letters of administration.
Tenancy & Eviction
Proceedings under the Tamil Nadu Regulation of Rights and Responsibilities of Landlords and Tenants Act 2017.
Writ Petitions
