We file and defend property cases in Indian civil and revenue courts for clients in Nepal: suits for injunction, declaration, possession and cancellation of forged deeds, and challenges to wrong mutations. A client in Nepal can act through an attested power of attorney or attend hearings in person. We check whether FEMA limits affect a Nepali citizen's claim before choosing the remedy.

Property Disputes from Nepal: how it works
Our first step is to obtain the current revenue record, such as the khatauni in Uttar Pradesh or the jamabandi in Bihar, together with registered deeds and the history of mutations, and compare them with your family papers. Many disputes start with a mutation entered without notice, which can be challenged before the revenue authorities quickly if caught early.
Where a forged sale deed or a false will is involved, we file a civil suit for declaration and cancellation with an interim injunction, and advise on a criminal complaint. Where boundaries are disputed, we ask for demarcation by the revenue officials. We keep you informed by WhatsApp and arrange your attendance only when it is truly needed.
What clients in Nepal should know
- Check the revenue record every year, especially after the death of an elder in the family.
- Possession claims are time-sensitive; long delays can defeat them.
- For agricultural land, revenue courts and civil courts have different powers, so the forum matters.

Questions from clients in Nepal
Can I handle a land case in Bihar while living in Kathmandu?
Yes, through a power of attorney and our team, with your attendance only when the court needs it.
My cousin got the land mutated in his name. Is it too late?
Not necessarily. Mutation does not decide title, and it can be challenged in appeal or through a civil suit.
Do Nepali citizens face any limits in property cases?
They can sue in Indian courts, but acquiring or transferring property needs RBI permission.
