Specific Performance of Contracts
Enforcing agreements to sell, land purchase contracts, and commercial transactions under Section 12 of the Specific Relief Act 1877.
Comprehensive Legal Representation & Strategy
Enforcing Property & Commercial Sale Agreements
When a vendor attempts to renege on an executed Agreement to Sell (Iqranama Baye) due to escalating land values or fraudulent intent, a suit for specific performance under Section 12 of the Specific Relief Act 1877 is the definitive legal remedy to compel the transfer of legal title.
Our seasoned trial advocates guide buyers and sellers through every strategic phase of contract enforcement: issuing formal legal notices with tender of remaining consideration, depositing balance purchase money in court to demonstrate readiness and willingness, and securing injunctive relief to restrain alienation to third parties.
Defense against Spurious Agreements
Conversely, our firm defends property owners against bogus or forged Iqranamas orchestrated by land speculators. Through forensic document examination, handwriting expert witnesses, and rigorous cross-examination of marginal witnesses (Hasyan-e-Hashia), we expose fraudulent transactions and protect genuine landowners.
