Q: What to do if I won the case in district court

We have won the case regarding socity open land in nager bumapan adhikari thane for getting possession wheter we have to file case in district court or i can directil file acase in mumbai high court

Advocate Vaibhav Prakash Patankar answered
It appears from the query raised that concerned authority has passed order in favor of you and thus question of filing any further proceedings does not arise; at the most you can file caveat in the higher authority where the decision of Nagar Bhumapan Adhikari (City Survey Officer) could be challenge. The Caveat can be filed by Lawyer on your behalf so no higher authority would pass any interim order before giving you an opportunity of being heard.
