Property disputes refer to conflicts arising between individuals or entities concerning ownership, possession, title, use, or transfer of movable or immovable property. Such disputes commonly arise in matters relating to land ownership, boundary disagreements, illegal possession or encroachment, tenancy issues, inheritance, partition of ancestral property, and fraudulent sale transactions.
In India, the substantive rights relating to property are primarily governed by statutes such as the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, the Indian Succession Act, 1925, and the personal laws applicable to the parties. However, the procedural and preventive framework for addressing disputes that may disturb public peace or involve criminal elements is governed by the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.
Under the BNSS, property disputes are addressed primarily from the standpoint of maintaining law and order and preventing breaches of peace, rather than adjudicating title or ownership. The relevant provisions empower Executive Magistrates to take preventive action in appropriate cases. The key aspects are as follows:
It is pertinent to note that proceedings under the BNSS do not determine ownership or title to property, as such matters fall exclusively within the jurisdiction of civil courts. The scope of BNSS is limited to preventing escalation of disputes into breaches of peace and ensuring interim protection of possession.
In addition to civil remedies, certain property disputes may also give rise to criminal offences such as cheating, criminal breach of trust, forgery, and criminal trespass under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, depending upon the facts and circumstances of each case.
Thus, property disputes in India involve a combination of civil adjudication for determination of rights, along with preventive and penal measures under BNSS and criminal law to maintain public order and address unlawful conduct.
