Case studies

Real Matters. Practical Resolutions.

The case studies below are based on actual matters handled by Dinesh D Bajaj. They illustrate the kinds of property, transaction and family-asset challenges that can arise — and the practical approach taken to move them toward resolution.

Selected matters

Representative situations

Different starting points, the same sequence: establish the facts, assess the options, negotiate where appropriate, coordinate execution.

ChennaiProperty Sale

Property Sale for an Owner Living Out of State

Situation: After her husband passed away suddenly, a Chennai apartment owner moved to Mumbai to be closer to her two children. She later decided to sell the property but had limited experience with property negotiations, payments, registration and transaction coordination.
Approach: Once the buyer and purchase terms were finalized, Dinesh became her single point of contact in Chennai. He coordinated the broker, buyer and other parties, monitored payment milestones, handled transaction follow-up and ensured that the process moved steadily toward registration.
Outcome: The sale was completed successfully, all agreed payments were collected and registration was completed. The owner needed to travel to Chennai only twice during the entire transaction.

Timeframe: 3 months

ChennaiFather Son Dispute

Father–Son Property Dispute Resolved Without Prolonged Litigation

Situation: An 83-year-old father owned a Tamil Nadu property worth approximately ₹8 crore. He had intended to settle it in favour of his son in return for ₹1.25 crore, but the son failed to make the agreed payment for more than two years.
Approach: Dinesh helped the father formally document his changed intentions, engaged with the bank, and coordinated appropriate legal action to strengthen the father’s position. The objective was to create enough practical and legal pressure to encourage a negotiated resolution rather than allow the dispute to drag on.
Outcome: The son ultimately paid the father the agreed ₹1.25 crore. The father then completed the property settlement in the son’s favour. The matter was resolved during the father’s lifetime without the dispute becoming a prolonged family battle.

Timeframe: 6 months

BengaluruTransaction representation

A stalled sale where the buyer's advocate raised title queries

Situation: An overseas owner had a sale nearly complete when the buyer's advocate raised a series of queries. The owner had no one on the ground and communication was running through the broker only.
Approach: Took over correspondence, obtained missing revenue and tax records, briefed an independent advocate to respond to each query, arranged a valuation for the owner's own benefit and represented the owner through negotiation and registration logistics.
Outcome: Queries closed, price protected within a narrow margin of the original figure and the transaction completed with the owner receiving a written record of every step.

Timeframe: Approximately four months

Tamil Nadu and BengaluruFamily settlement

A family settlement across four heirs and two cities

Situation: Four heirs, two of them overseas, held mixed assets including agricultural land, a small commercial building and a residential plot. Discussions had circled for years without a documented basis.
Approach: Established what each asset actually was and was worth, produced a single shared factual summary for all four heirs, ran structured discussions on options and coordinated the drafting professionals once the shape of a settlement was agreed.
Outcome: A settlement all four heirs signed, with the two overseas heirs receiving a full written record of the process and the reasoning behind each allocation.

Timeframe: Approximately eleven months
