When you need it

A civil suit by an owner to get back possession of property from someone who was allowed to stay as a licensee or as a relative, and who will not leave once told to. A person who stays only by the owner's permission is not a tenant; the permission can be ended (Indian Easements Act, 1882) and the owner can then sue for possession (section 5 of the Specific Relief Act, 1963).

The draft pleads your title, how the defendant came in, how you ended the permission, and, if you choose, damages for use and occupation. Court papers are usually filed through an advocate, who also files a vakalatnama; this form prepares the draft for them to settle. The court fee depends on the valuation and was not confirmed here; ask the filing counter. Not for: a tenant who pays rent (the rent laws apply; for Chandigarh see the Chandigarh Eviction Petition); a person put out of possession less than six months ago, who may have a quicker remedy and should take advice first; or a parent or elder seeking to remove a child, who may also go to the maintenance tribunal under the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act, 2007.

What follows is written for Punjab and Chandigarh. It states the position there rather than describing how it varies, so the amounts below are the ones that apply — worth confirming at the sub-registrar’s office, because rates change. If the property is anywhere else in India, none of this is yours.

Stamp duty

No stamp-paper duty is payable on the pleading itself; it bears the court's own court-fee stamp. The court-fee figure for this kind of filing in Punjab and in Chandigarh was not confirmed here: ask the court's filing counter (Nazarat) or your advocate for the amount on your valuation, and for the vakalatnama stamps if an advocate is engaged.

Registration

Not registrable: a court paper is not an instrument under section 17 of the Registration Act, 1908. Any decree that results has its own registration or mutation step, if one is needed.

Notarisation

The paper is verified by the party and signed; it is not notarised. Any separate affidavit filed with it (the General Court Affidavit in this library will do) is sworn before an Oath Commissioner or Notary.

Witnesses

None required for the paper itself. Evidence is led later, in the court's own procedure.

SUIT FOR POSSESSION

IN THE COURT OF Civil Judge (Senior Division), S.A.S. Nagar (Mohali)

Civil Suit No. ............ of ............

Harpreet Singh, S/o Sh. Amarjit Singh, aged 52 years, retired, resident of House No. 214, Phase 3B1, S.A.S. Nagar (Mohali) ... Plaintiff

versus

Jaswinder Singh, S/o Sh. Gurdev Singh, aged 47 years, businessman, resident of House No. 9, Sector 21-C, Chandigarh ... Defendant

The plaintiff states as follows:

1. THE PROPERTY. The suit property is House No. 31, Sector 15-A, Chandigarh, ground floor, with the garage (the "suit property").

2. THE PLAINTIFF'S TITLE. The plaintiff is the owner by registered sale deed No. 1204 dated 04.05.2012. The plaintiff is entitled to possession of the suit property.

3. THE DEFENDANT'S OCCUPATION. The defendant is a licensee, allowed to stay in the suit property only as a favour and without any tenancy. In March 2021 the plaintiff allowed his nephew to stay on the ground floor for a few months while he looked for work. Nothing was paid and nothing was written. The defendant has no tenancy and no right of ownership in the suit property.

4. ENDING OF THE PERMISSION. On 1 April 2026 the plaintiff ended the defendant's permission to stay and asked the defendant to leave. A written notice dated 01.06.2026 was sent by registered post, giving 30 days to leave. The defendant refused and said he would not go. The defendant has not left and remains in the suit property without any right. The defendant says: X. The plaintiff denies this.

5. JURISDICTION AND VALUATION. The cause of action arose, and the suit property lies, within the territorial limits of this Court. The suit is valued at ₹15,00,000 (Rupees Fifteen Lakh only) for jurisdiction and court fee. Court fee is paid as the court fee table of this Court requires on that valuation.

6. OTHER PROCEEDINGS. No other suit or proceeding between the parties on the same matter has been filed or decided.

7. DOCUMENTS. The plaintiff relies on: Sale deed dated 04.05.2012; notice dated 01.06.2026 with postal receipt and acknowledgement; property tax receipts; electricity bills in the plaintiff's name..

PRAYER

The plaintiff prays for a decree for possession of the suit property against the defendant, directing the defendant to hand over vacant possession; for damages for use and occupation (mesne profits) at ₹15,000 (Rupees Fifteen Thousand only) a month from 1 April 2026 until possession is delivered; for the costs of the suit; and for any other relief the Court thinks fit.

VERIFICATION

Verified at S.A.S. Nagar (Mohali) on 2 April 2026 that paragraphs 1 to 5 are true to my knowledge and paragraphs 6 to 7 are true on the records and on information I believe to be true; nothing material has been concealed.

Plaintiff: Harpreet Singh
