What We Do
Real estate transactions and land rights require meticulous due diligence and resolute enforcement. VNS Legal Partners advises property buyers, developers, and landholders on title verification, civil suits, and RERA dispute resolution.
Property law in India is characterized by intricate land revenue records, state-specific tenancy and transfer regulations, and evolving regulatory protections under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 (RERA). Whether investing in commercial land, resolving family partition disputes, or seeking remedies for delayed residential possession, property rights demand rigorous title scrutiny and assertive litigation capability.
Our chambers provide end-to-end legal support across property transactions, RERA consumer complaints, and complex civil land suits before civil courts, appellate authorities, and High Courts.

Property owners and investors face frequent legal complications:
- Title Insecurity & Encumbrances: Unverified land titles, ancestral ownership claims, revenue entry discrepancies, and hidden encumbrances.
- Project Delays & RERA Violations: Failure of developers to deliver possession on committed dates, unilateral alterations to layout plans, and non-refund of deposits.
- Contentious Property Disputes: Partition suits between co-owners, boundary disputes, trespass, and suits for declaration of ownership.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What remedies does a homebuyer have under RERA if a project is indefinitely delayed?
Under Section 18 of RERA, if a promoter fails to give possession in accordance with the agreement for sale, the allottee has the right to withdraw from the project and claim full refund along with interest at the prescribed rate, or remain in the project and claim interest for every month of delay until possession is handed over.
