Why you need it

When you need it

Somebody has entered your house, shop, plot or field in Punjab or Chandigarh without right: broken a lock, climbed in, fenced off part of it, moved their goods in, or came in lawfully and now refuses to leave, and did it to intimidate, insult or annoy you or to commit an offence. Criminal trespass and house-trespass under section 329 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 are cognizable offences, so the officer in charge of a police station can be asked to record the information as a first information report. This complaint gives that officer what is needed to act: who you are and on what footing you hold the property, the property itself, exactly what happened (the date and time, the persons, what they did, the damage and the threats), who saw it, the evidence you hold, and the offence the facts disclose. It asks for the information to be recorded and for a free copy. If the officer will not record it, its substance goes by post to the Superintendent of Police, and after that an application supported by affidavit goes to the Magistrate. Use it for an incident on or after 1 July 2024. A police complaint does not decide who owns the property: where the occupier stays on, a civil suit for possession or an injunction is still needed, and nothing in this complaint justifies taking the property back by force.

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

Punjab and Chandigarh: no stamp duty is payable. The complaint is a letter to an authority, the officer in charge of a police station; it creates, transfers or records no right in any property, and it is signed by the complainant alone.

Registration

Punjab and Chandigarh: the complaint is not registrable. It is a letter to an authority and deals with no right in immovable property, so section 17(1)(b) of the Registration Act, 1908 does not reach it. What the police record is the information itself, and the complainant receives a free copy of that record.

Notarisation

Punjab and Chandigarh: no notary is needed. The complainant signs the complaint, and information given electronically is signed by the informant within three days under section 173(1)(ii) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. An affidavit is needed only later, if the matter goes to the Magistrate, who considers an application supported by affidavit.

Witnesses

Punjab and Chandigarh: no attesting witness signs the complaint. The persons who saw the trespass are named in it, with their addresses and telephone numbers, so that the police can record their statements.

COMPLAINT OF CRIMINAL TRESPASS

To: The Officer in Charge, Police Station Division No. 5, Ludhiana

Date: 2 April 2026

From: Manjit Kaur, wife of Balbir Singh, aged 58, of House No. 221, Street No. 4, Gurdev Nagar, Ludhiana 141001, telephone +91 98723 11418, email manjit.kaur221@example.com

Subject: Trespass on my house No. 221, Gurdev Nagar on 1 April 2026: information of a cognizable offence, for recording as a first information report

Sir or Madam,

  1. The Property and my possession. The property concerned is the residential house No. 221, Street No. 4, Gurdev Nagar, Ludhiana, property ID 3441-B-221, where I live with my son (the Property). I own the Property and live in it, and it has been in my possession throughout. My right to it is shown by the sale deed dated 3 March 1998, registered as document No. 18817 at the office of the Sub-Registrar, Ludhiana, and the municipal property tax record, which shows me as owner.
  1. Possession before the incident. I, or those through whom I hold, have been in possession of the Property since March 1998. Until the incident, my son and I lived in the house, our household goods were in every room, and the side gate and the rear room were locked with our locks.
  1. The persons. The persons who came to the Property are Raminder Singh son of Kartar Singh, of House No. 219, Street No. 4, Gurdev Nagar, Ludhiana, and two men with him whom I can identify if I see them again. I refer to them together as the accused.
  1. What they did. On 1 April 2026, at about 10.30 p.m., while my son and I were away at a family wedding at Amritsar, the accused broke the lock of the side gate, entered the house, put their own locks on the rear room and the store, and moved in a bed and some of Raminder Singh's goods. When we returned the next morning they would not let us into the rear room and said that it was now theirs.
  1. Why they came. The accused had no permission from me and no order of any court or authority, and they came to take the Property from me, not to deal with me lawfully: Raminder Singh has claimed for months that the rear room was sold to his father, which it never was, and he chose a night when the house was empty, broke our lock and told us he would stay until we gave the room up. They caused this damage: the lock and latch of the side gate were broken and the door frame of the rear room was split. They threatened us in these words, or words to this effect: Raminder Singh told my son that if we called the police our family would be taught a lesson.
  1. Where things stand. They left the Property after the incident, but they said they would come back, and I fear they will. I have reported trouble from the same persons before: a written complaint about Raminder Singh's threats given at this police station on 2 June 2026.
  1. Witnesses and evidence. The incident, or part of it, was seen by Sukhdev Singh of House No. 223, Street No. 4, Gurdev Nagar (telephone +91 98140 67231), who saw the men break the gate lock. I hold the following evidence and will hand it to the investigating officer: footage of the gate from the CCTV camera of House No. 223, photographs of the broken lock taken on 24 August 2026, and the broken lock itself, which I have kept.
