Questions
What people ask
What is a land litigation check?
A search of the courts for everyone who has held or dealt in a piece of land, starting from its encumbrance certificate, with each case found read and matched back to the land.
How do I check whether land is in a court case?
Search the courts for everyone who has held or dealt in the land, not only the seller. The land's encumbrance certificate names them; the Land Litigation Check searches each name in the Orissa High Court and the district court where the land lies, and matches each case found to the land.
How do I check litigation on a property?
A case against the property can be filed against any of its past holders, so a search of the seller alone can miss it. Start from the encumbrance certificate, search every party it names, and read each order found against the property's plot and khata numbers. The Land Litigation Check does all three.
Why start from the encumbrance certificate?
The EC lists every registered transaction on the parcel, so it names the sellers, buyers and mortgagees a check has to cover — not only the person selling to you today.
Which courts are searched?
The Orissa High Court and the district court of the district where the land lies.
What does it cost?
499 credits for up to 30 names, and 20 credits for each name beyond. ₹999 buys 1,000 credits (Starter credits). Credits never expire.
