Illegal Possession & Encroachment (Qabza)
ناجائز قبضہ اور تجاوزات — ریکارڈ کی بنیاد پر ملکیت و قبضہ کا ثبوت
Illegal possession (qabza) and encroachment are among the hardest land problems: someone farms, builds on or fences land that is not theirs, sometimes for years. The revenue record — jamabandi for ownership, khasra girdawari for possession — is often the strongest evidence of who has the right. We trace both through time, show when and how possession changed, and advise on the route to recover it with your advocate.
Illegal Occupation
Land occupied without right by a relative, neighbour or outsider.
Encroachment
Boundaries pushed into your killas, paths or shared land.
Possession History
Khasra girdawari entries traced season by season to show who was recorded in possession.
Ownership Evidence
Ownership established from current and old jamabandis.
Recovery Route
Advice on the route through the revenue authorities or the courts.
Ground Measurement
Our RTK survey service can measure exactly how far an encroachment extends.

OverviewFrequently Asked Questions
Someone has occupied my land. Where do I start?
Start with the record: who is the owner in the jamabandi and who is recorded in possession in the khasra girdawari, and since when. We establish this before advising on the route.
The girdawari shows the other person in possession. Is my case lost?
Not necessarily. We look at when and how that entry changed and whether it was made correctly, which is often key evidence.
I live abroad and my land has been occupied. Can you help?
Yes. We can review the record and advise remotely over WhatsApp and email, and coordinate with your advocate in Pakistan.
Can you show exactly how much land is encroached?
Yes, through our separate RTK survey service, which measures boundaries on the ground with centimetre-level accuracy.
