Why the forum matters first
Matters concerning agricultural land, entries in revenue records, mutation and demarcation are governed by revenue law and are dealt with by revenue authorities, while questions of title and cancellation of documents may lie elsewhere. Filing in the wrong forum costs time that is difficult to recover.
The first consultation therefore focuses on identifying what is actually being challenged before any proceeding is drafted.
Typical land matters
- Correction of entries in the khatauni and other revenue records
- Mutation on the basis of inheritance, sale or family settlement

- Disputes concerning passage and common land
Records usually required
