Land Law FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions on Property Law

Why is a 30-year revenue search required before buying land in Gujarat?
Under Indian property law, the limitation period for challenging title or mortgage claims by third parties or Government extends up to 30 years. In Gujarat, ancestral rights, agricultural tenancy under Section 43, fragmentation restrictions, and disputed Village Form 6 mutation entries can render a transaction void without thorough multi-decade due diligence.
What evidence is required to file a Gujarat Land Grabbing Act complaint?
The complainant must establish undisputed legal title with certified registered sale deeds, latest AnyRoR 7/12 and 8A extracts, DILR spot-measurement maps demonstrating unauthorized occupation, photographs, and records of prior police or revenue complaints. Advocate Rashesh Patel prepares the statutory dossier for submission to the District Collector.
Can daughters claim an equal share in ancestral agricultural land in Gujarat?
Yes. Following the landmark Supreme Court ruling in Vineeta Sharma v. Rakesh Sharma (2020), daughters have an equal coparcenary birthright in ancestral coparcenary property irrespective of whether the father was alive on September 9, 2005. We represent daughters and legal heirs in securing their legitimate shares through partition suits.
