We file and defend property cases in Indian courts for Afghan families in India and abroad: injunctions to stop sales, cancellation of forged deeds, recovery of possession and eviction of tenants. We first check the title, the owners' nationality and any FEMA limits, because an Afghan citizen's rights to transfer property differ from an Indian citizen's.

Property Disputes from Afghanistan: how it works
We obtain the registered deeds, municipal and revenue records and any tenancy papers, and identify who is in possession. Where there is a risk of sale, we file for an urgent injunction. Where someone has used a forged power of attorney or sale deed, we seek cancellation and advise on a criminal complaint.
For owners abroad, we use a power of attorney signed where they now live, and arrange video evidence where courts permit. We keep the family informed by WhatsApp in English, Hindi or Punjabi.
What clients in Afghanistan should know
- Keep certified copies of title documents in more than one country.
- Register tenancy agreements and do not hand over original title papers.
- Watch the property records for unexpected changes.

Questions from clients in Afghanistan
Can I file a property case in India while living in Germany?
Yes, through an apostilled power of attorney and our team.
Someone is trying to sell our house using a fake power of attorney. What can we do?
Seek an urgent injunction and file a police complaint for forgery.
Does Afghan citizenship affect the case?
It can affect transfer and sale of the property, not the right to sue.
