Another person is claiming ownership

Question:
I bought a land in Tamil Nadu, but now another person is claiming ownership. What should I do?
Answer:
If a third party is claiming ownership of your property, you should first verify all title documents, including sale deed, patta, and encumbrance certificate. It is advisable to file a civil suit for declaration and injunction to protect your ownership rights. You may also issue a legal notice to the opposing party before initiating court proceedings.
