Property lawyer in Gurgaon — which forum hears which dispute?

Dispute	Forum
Delay, refund, defects in a registered project in Gurugram district	Haryana Real Estate Regulatory Authority, Gurugram
Compensation under RERA	Adjudicating officer of the authority
Appeal from a RERA order	Haryana Real Estate Appellate Tribunal, within 60 days
Title, declaration, possession, injunction, partition of urban property	Civil courts, Gurugram, by value
Partition of agricultural land	Revenue officers under the Punjab Land Revenue Act, 1887 as applied in Haryana
Rent and eviction for covered premises	Rent Controller under the Haryana Urban (Control of Rent and Eviction) Act, 1973

Haryana has two RERA authorities. A project located in Gurugram district goes to the Gurugram authority; projects elsewhere in Haryana, including Faridabad, go to Panchkula. See RERA lawyer, Haryana.

Builder delay in Gurugram — refund or delay interest

Under Section 18 of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, a buyer in a delayed project may withdraw with a refund of the amount paid plus interest, or stay in the project and receive interest for every month of delay until possession. The complaint is filed under Section 31. An order is enforced through recovery as arrears of land revenue if the builder does not pay, and execution is where many Gurugram cases are actually won. A consumer complaint is an alternative, but the same relief should not be pursued in both forums. See builder delay in Haryana.

Title documents to check in Gurugram

Document	What it shows
Registered sale or conveyance deed and the chain of earlier deeds	Transfer of title, owner to owner
Jamabandi and mutation entries	Revenue record of ownership, for land
Colony licence and approved plans from the town-planning department	That the colony and building are lawful
Occupation certificate	That the building may be occupied
Builder-buyer agreement and payment receipts	The buyer's rights in an under-construction unit

A GPA, agreement to sell and will used as a "sale" does not convey title; only a registered deed does. Deeds in Haryana are registered at the sub-registrar's office, with online appointments.

Partition and injunction suits in Gurugram

Any co-owner of jointly owned property may seek partition. The court declares shares by a preliminary decree and divides the property by a final decree, often through a local commissioner. Daughters have equal coparcenary rights in Hindu joint family property since 2005. A temporary injunction under Order 39 CPC stops a sale, construction or dispossession while the suit is pending, if there is a prima facie case, the balance of convenience favours it, and irreparable injury would otherwise follow.

Landlord and tenant disputes in Gurugram

Covered urban premises fall under the Haryana Urban (Control of Rent and Eviction) Act, 1973, where eviction is sought from the Rent Controller on the grounds the Act allows. Other leases end by notice under Section 106 of the Transfer of Property Act, followed by a civil suit for possession and arrears. Tenants recover security deposits through a civil suit or summary suit. See tenant eviction in Haryana.

Gurugram, Faridabad or Delhi — which court?

Gurugram and Faridabad are both in Haryana and share the Punjab & Haryana High Court, while Delhi has its own. A dispute that touches two cities, for example a Delhi marriage with a Gurugram home, or a Gurugram company paying a Faridabad vendor, can often be filed in more than one place. The deciding facts are where the cause of action arose, where the parties live, and, for cheques, where the payee banks. See Delhi or Haryana — which court?.

How to choose an advocate for this matter in Gurugram

Enrolment: ask for the enrolment number and State Bar Council. Under Section 30 of the Advocates Act, 1961 an enrolled advocate may appear in any court in India.
Forum presence: check appearances before the court concerned on the eCourts portal.
Candour: a reliable advocate tells you the weak points of the file, not a promised result.
Written terms, stage by stage; costs are explained in the lawyer fees guide.

Rule 36 of the Bar Council of India Rules forbids any advocate from claiming to be the "best", "top" or "No. 1" in Gurugram. Those words in a search are best answered by the tests above.

First consultation in a Gurugram property matter — what to bring

Title deeds and earlier chain, jamabandi and mutation copies, the builder-buyer agreement, allotment letter, payment receipts and demand letters, the project's RERA registration number, rent agreement and receipts, any notice received, and court papers if a case has begun.
