Hello there,

Thank you for reaching out here. Firstly, the Flat that you mentioned happen to be in the Lal Dora doesn't repudiate any of the land/flat ownership right.

First step is to file a complain against the goon in the Police Station stating out clearly the violation under section 441 under Indian Penal Code. Make sure when you go there..ask Police person to pay a visit to the place and talk to the goon and try to settle the matter then and there because these matters, else, in the court would take time.

If nothing happens, send a legal notice to the party stating out clearly eviction of the said Flat within the days.

If that doesn't work too, file a suit for recovery on the property and try to settle the matter.

File a proceeding under section 6 of the Specific Relief Act to recover your possession.

Such proceeding does not require you to establish your title but only to show your better title than the person who is forcefully occupying the property.

However such proceeding is to file within 6 months from the date of dispossession. So if you are within this time limit you can file such case.

A person who unlawfully remains in the property of the other is liable for criminal trespass under Section 441 of the Indian Penal Code. On your case, the trespassing is ‘continuing trespass’. it is well settled that the property need not necessarily be in the possession of the owner, it could be with the tenant as well.

So, you can go ahead and file a criminal complaint against the wrongdoer.

My Flat based in Tughlakabad, Delhi has been captured by one of the goon in my area. Please, suggest some of the curative action that can be taken.

If you have title documents on your name, lodge a complaint with the police for this illegal land grabbing offence.

Escalate the matter to higher police officer if the local police do not cooperate or not taking any action against the influential goon.

Alternately you may approach civil court with a mandatory injunction suit seeking to restrain the goon from interfering with your possession and enjoyment of the property and for possession.

1. As per Order passed by the Supreme Court in the year 2012.. Surya Lamps & Electrics -Vs- The State of Haryana, sale through POA has been made invalid unless the POA has been issued by infirm persons to his/her near relatives.

2. Title of a flat can not be claimed without registering a sale deed by paying stamp duty and registration fees.

3. Moreover, in your case, it will be difficult for you to register the said Flat based on the said POA.

4. So, first get the deed of conveyance of the flat registered in your name and thereafter lodge police complaint and act as advised in my earlier post.

Kindly follow up some more details in this regard. So, there happen to be a flat which was on the rent to a tenant, the tenant happen to be the friend of said goon and took the possession and started claiming the ownership right over there. Though, the papers of the property happens to in Lal Dora and merely General power of attorney is possessed by me.

If the title to the property is not in your name then you may have to struggle to get back the property.

POA deed in your name cannot confer title to the property.

You may approach your principal and take his help to retrieve the property and after that get the property registered to your name immediately.

Dear Sir,

You may approach police and if they refuse then approach Magistrate through private complaint. In the meanwhile file a suit for recovery of possession or evicting the tenant saying that it was sub-tenanted to the said goon. You may also approach social channels including print and electronic media which will have serious impact on the reputation of the said goon and also your tenant.
