Land Dispute Lawyers
A “land dispute” usually involves more than one conflicting claims to the right in a particular land by 2 or more than 2 parties, which are focused on that particular land; and that could be addressed within the existing legal framework. Indian Constitution originally provides the right to property (that includes land) under the Articles 19 & 31; wherein, the Article 19 guaranteed that all of the citizens possess the right to acquire, hold & dispose of any property; and the Article 31 stated that no person is deprived of his property save by the authority of law.
