LIS PENDENS SEARCH REQUEST
Request date: __________
Applicant: __________, __________. Property: __________ (__________), __________.
Names to search: __________.
Litigation scope: __________.
Search source: __________.
Required output: __________.
Please identify only cases materially connected to rights in the stated property and report current status, court, case number, parties and the source checked.
LEGAL BASIS
Under section 52 of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, a transfer made while a suit is pending in which the right to the property is directly and specifically in question does not affect the rights of the parties under the decree, which is why a buyer searches for such suits. In Punjab a registered lis pendens is the only litigation a Non-Encumbrance Certificate will show, so use the property-under-litigation search on rcms.punjab.gov.in as well; neither is a search of the courts' own records. Chandigarh has no notified Non-Encumbrance Certificate service.
