How can I resolve a property boundary dispute?

Property boundary disputes generally arise due to conflicting survey records, encroachments, or inaccurate property descriptions. The first step is to verify your title documents, survey maps, revenue records, and approved layout plans. In many cases, a government survey or demarcation conducted by the competent revenue authority helps determine the correct boundaries.

If the dispute cannot be resolved through negotiation or mediation, you may file a civil suit seeking declaration of boundaries, permanent injunction, or removal of encroachment before the appropriate civil court.

Property boundary disputes are governed by various State land laws along with the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, and the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908.

Disclaimer: The appropriate legal remedy depends upon the survey records, title documents, and factual circumstances of the dispute.
