Eviction Suit For Residential Property In High Court

If you are dealing with eviction suit for a residential property, this guide sets out the legal position, the documents you will need, the usual steps and the mistakes that cost people time. Because the title mentions the High Court, there is a short note below on whether the High Court actually deals with this kind of matter and, if it does not, where it goes instead. The firm of Advocate B.K. Singh handles this work from offices in Dwarka, New Delhi and Vaishali, Ghaziabad.

In short. An eviction suit is a landlord's case to recover possession from a tenant or occupant. Where rent control applies, as under the Delhi Rent Control Act for low-rent premises, the landlord petitions the Rent Controller on a ground such as bona fide need or non-payment. Otherwise the tenancy is ended by notice under section 106 of the Transfer of Property Act and a civil suit for possession and damages follows.

An eviction suit is how an owner gets a property back from someone who will not leave: a tenant who has stopped paying rent, a tenant whose lease has expired, a licensee whose permission has been withdrawn, a relative allowed to stay who now claims a right, or an occupant left behind after a sale. The relief is possession, usually with arrears of rent and damages for use and occupation until the property is handed back.

The most important decision comes before any drafting: which law governs the tenancy. Premises covered by a rent control statute can be recovered only on the grounds and before the authority that statute provides. Premises outside it are governed by the Transfer of Property Act and go to the civil court, and many commercial tenancies are commercial disputes with their own procedure. This page explains the routes in Delhi, UP and Haryana, the notice, the grounds, the procedure, the documents, the time limits and the mistakes that delay eviction for years.

Law

Transfer of Property Act 1882 (ss.105, 106, 111, 116); Delhi Rent Control Act 1958 (ss.3(c), 14, 15, 25B); state rent laws in UP and Haryana; CPC Order 12 rule 6 and Order 20 rule 12; Commercial Courts Act 2015 for commercial leases.

Forum

Rent Controller where a rent control law applies. Otherwise the civil court (in UP, often the Judge Small Causes Court) where the property lies, or the commercial court for commercial leases of the specified value.

Time limit

Suit by a landlord for possession from a tenant: 12 years from the date the tenancy is determined (Article 67, Limitation Act). Arrears of rent: generally 3 years.

Documents

Title or ownership proof, lease or rent agreement, rent receipts or bank entries, termination notice with postal proof, tenant's reply, property tax records, photographs, proof of the ground relied on.

What an eviction suit is

An eviction suit is a proceeding by which a landlord, owner or lessor recovers physical possession of premises from a person in occupation. The occupant may be a tenant whose tenancy has ended, a tenant who has broken the terms of the lease, a licensee, a former employee in company accommodation, or a person who came in with permission and stayed on. The court or authority orders the occupant to hand over vacant possession and usually awards arrears and damages for the period of unauthorised use.

Two things are true of every eviction. First, an owner cannot evict by force, even after the tenancy has ended. Cutting electricity, changing locks or removing belongings exposes the owner to criminal complaints and a counter-suit for injunction, and courts take a hard view of it. Second, the occupant's status decides the route. A tenant protected by rent control has strong statutory protection. A tenant outside rent control can be evicted once the tenancy is properly ended. A licensee has no interest in the property and can be removed more easily, though still through the court.

Landlords often come to us after years of informal pressure has failed and the arrears have mounted. The sooner the paperwork is put in order, starting with a correct notice of termination of tenancy, the shorter the eventual case.

First question: rent control law or the Transfer of Property Act?

In Delhi, the Delhi Rent Control Act 1958 applies to premises in the areas it covers, but section 3(c) excludes premises whose monthly rent exceeds 3,500 rupees. Most modern residential and commercial tenancies in Delhi therefore fall outside the Act and are governed by the Transfer of Property Act, with eviction through a civil suit. Old tenancies at low rents, often in older parts of the city and in old commercial areas, remain under the Act, and those tenants can be evicted only on the grounds in section 14 before the Rent Controller.

In Uttar Pradesh, the position changed recently. The UP Regulation of Urban Premises Tenancy Act 2021 had moved eviction to a Rent Authority, but in August 2026 a Division Bench of the Allahabad High Court declared key provisions, including the Rent Authority's eviction and rent revision powers, invalid, and held that the earlier 1972 rent law revives to the extent needed, with the Transfer of Property Act and the Small Cause Courts route governing fresh proceedings. Further challenge is possible, so check the current position before choosing the forum in Noida, Greater Noida or Ghaziabad.

In Haryana, including Gurugram and Faridabad, the state's urban rent law provides a Rent Controller route for buildings it covers, with exemptions for certain categories. Check whether the building and tenancy fall within the current statute. Where no rent law applies anywhere in the NCR, the general rule is the same: end the tenancy by a valid notice and sue for possession in the civil court.

The law that governs eviction

Eviction routes compared

Ending the tenancy: the notice under section 106

Outside rent control, a tenant cannot be sued for possession while the tenancy subsists. A fixed-term lease ends on its own at the end of the term. A periodic tenancy must be ended by notice under section 106 of the Transfer of Property Act. Since the 2002 amendment, the notice need not expire with the end of a month of the tenancy; it is enough that the required period runs, and a suit filed after the notice period is valid.

The notice must be in writing, signed by the landlord or his agent, and delivered by post to the tenant, personally, or by affixing at the premises if personal delivery is not possible. It should identify the premises, state that the tenancy is terminated, give the date by which possession must be handed over, and claim damages for use and occupation after that date at a stated rate. Keep the postal receipts and tracking.

Where the lease contains a forfeiture clause, a breach such as non-payment or unauthorised sub-letting can end the lease under section 111(g), but only after the lessor gives notice of his intention to determine the lease. Once a valid notice is served, do not accept rent as rent for later months, because the tenant may argue that a new tenancy was created by holding over under section 116. Accept payments, if at all, expressly as damages for use and occupation without prejudice.

Grounds under the Delhi Rent Control Act

For premises covered by the Delhi Rent Control Act, eviction is possible only on the grounds listed in section 14(1). The commonest are non-payment of rent under clause (a), where the tenant fails to pay arrears within two months of a written demand; sub-letting, assignment or parting with possession without the landlord's written consent under clause (b); and bona fide requirement under clause (e), where the landlord needs the premises for himself or a dependent family member and has no other reasonably suitable accommodation. Other grounds include misuse of the premises, substantial damage, and the tenant having acquired or built a residence of his own.

The non-payment ground has a safety valve for tenants. Under section 15, the Controller orders the tenant to pay or deposit arrears and current rent, and a tenant who complies gets protection from eviction on that ground, but only once. A second default can lead to eviction. Landlords should keep a clean record of rent demands and payments for this reason.

Orders of the Rent Controller can be appealed to the Rent Control Tribunal, and from there a second appeal lies to the High Court only on a substantial question of law. For a full discussion of petitions under rent law, see our page on a rent control petition.

Bona fide requirement and the summary procedure

Bona fide requirement is the main ground for evicting old protected tenants in Delhi. The landlord must show that he owns the premises, that he or a dependent family member genuinely needs them for residence or, in some cases, for business, and that he has no other reasonably suitable accommodation. The landlord is the judge of his own needs in the sense that the court will not dictate how he should live, but the need must be real and present, not a pretext.

Section 25B gives a fast track for these cases. After the petition is filed, the tenant is served with a summons in a special form and must apply for leave to contest within 15 days, setting out facts that would disentitle the landlord to eviction. If he does not apply, or if leave is refused, the Controller passes an eviction order. If leave is granted, the case is tried in a summary way. There is no appeal from an order under section 25B; the remedy is a revision petition to the High Court.

In bona fide requirement petitions that reach Advocate B.K. Singh's office, the weak point is usually the landlord's other properties. Tenants will list every flat, shop and plot owned by the family, and the landlord must explain in the petition itself why each one is unsuitable. A petition that is silent on other accommodation often hands the tenant leave to defend.

How an eviction suit runs

For a tenancy outside rent control, a civil eviction suit usually follows these steps. Rent Controller proceedings are similar but shorter.

1. Check the papers and the law that applies

   Read the lease or rent agreement, the rent history and title. Decide whether a rent control statute covers the premises and whether the dispute is a commercial dispute. This fixes the forum and the grounds.

2. Serve a valid termination notice

   Send a notice under section 106 or a forfeiture notice under section 111(g), with a demand for arrears and damages for use and occupation after termination. Keep postal proof and any reply, which often contains useful admissions.

3. Pre-institution mediation for commercial cases

   If the premises are used exclusively for trade or commerce and the specified value is 3 lakh rupees or more, apply for pre-institution mediation under section 12A of the Commercial Courts Act, unless urgent interim relief is needed. A failed mediation report allows the suit to be filed.

4. File the suit

   The plaint seeks possession, arrears of rent, mesne profits from the date of termination and future mesne profits, with court fee paid under the state law. In Delhi, court fee for possession against a tenant is generally computed on the annual rent, while commercial suits are valued on the property's market value.

5. Ask for deposit and judgment on admission

   Apply for directions to the tenant to pay admitted rent and use and occupation charges during the suit, and for judgment under Order 12 rule 6 if the tenancy, rent and notice are admitted in the written statement.

6. Trial and decree

   If facts are disputed, issues are framed and evidence is led. The decree orders vacant possession within a set time and awards arrears and mesne profits, with an inquiry into future mesne profits under Order 20 rule 12 if needed.

7. Execution

   If the tenant does not vacate, file execution. The court issues a warrant of possession under Order 21 rule 35, and the bailiff delivers possession, with police assistance where ordered. Objections by sub-tenants or relatives are decided in execution.

A tenant can appeal the decree, but an appeal does not stay eviction automatically; appellate courts usually require deposit of arrears and use and occupation charges as a condition of any stay.

Getting paid while the case runs

Long litigation is cheap for a tenant who pays nothing. Courts are alert to this. In suits for possession against tenants, courts commonly direct the tenant to deposit admitted arrears and to pay use and occupation charges month by month while the suit is pending, sometimes at a rate higher than the old rent where the market rent is clearly higher. Failure to pay can lead to the defence being struck off.

In Uttar Pradesh, Order XV rule 5 of the CPC as amended for the state allows the court in a suit by a lessor for eviction to strike off the defence of a tenant who fails to deposit the admitted rent and monthly amounts. In Delhi, the courts use their general powers under the CPC to order deposits. Under the Delhi Rent Control Act, section 15 orders do the same work in non-payment petitions.

Ask for these orders early and enforce them strictly. A case where the tenant is paying market rate use and occupation charges into court tends to settle far sooner than one where he is sitting rent free. Where arrears are the main issue, a legal notice for payment of rent before the suit sets up both the claim and the record.

Documents for an eviction case

How the case changes by property type

Residential flat, builder floor or house. Most modern residential tenancies in Delhi NCR are on 11-month agreements at rents well above rent control limits, so they are governed by the Transfer of Property Act. The suit is usually straightforward if the agreement and notice are in order, and judgment on admission is often possible. Where the tenant is a family with children or elderly members, courts may give some time to vacate, but they do not refuse eviction on that ground alone.

Shop, showroom, office or commercial building. These tenancies often involve larger rents, security deposits, fit-out investments and lock-in clauses. The lease's renewal, escalation and lock-in terms decide whether and when the tenancy can be ended. If the specified value crosses the threshold, the suit is a commercial suit, with pre-institution mediation and strict timelines; courts have taken differing views on when a landlord's possession suit counts as a commercial dispute, so check the current position. Our commercial litigation page explains the procedure.

Industrial, hospital and resort property. These are often on long registered leases with specific termination and arbitration clauses, and may be on authority leasehold land where the authority's consent governs subletting. If the lease has an arbitration clause, eviction claims may have to go to arbitration. Agricultural land. Tenancy of agricultural land is governed by state land laws, not rent control or ordinary leases, and disputes usually go to the revenue courts. Authority leasehold property in Noida, Greater Noida, GDA or DDA areas may need the authority's permission for letting in the first place; an unauthorised letting can trigger action against the lessee-owner.

How the case changes by party

Banks. A bank may be a tenant (a branch or ATM site), a landlord, or the secured creditor of a mortgaged property occupied by a tenant. As a tenant, a bank has no special protection beyond the lease. As a secured creditor taking possession under SARFAESI, the bank faces tenants claiming leases; since 2016, section 17(4A) of the SARFAESI Act lets the DRT examine whether a claimed tenancy is genuine and whether it was created before the mortgage or with the bank's consent. An auction purchaser who buys tenanted property must usually evict through the ordinary route if the tenancy is valid against the bank.

Builders and developers often need old tenants out before redevelopment; rent control grounds and negotiated surrender agreements are the usual tools. NRI landlords can file through an attorney holding a registered power of attorney, and should be ready to explain any claimed personal need with documents, because tenants routinely argue that a landlord settled abroad has no real need. The Delhi Rent Control Act gives some categories of landlords, such as certain government employees and widows, a faster route to recover premises for their own use; check eligibility before relying on it. Companies and LLPs act through authorised signatories, and company accommodation given to employees is usually a licence that ends with employment.

Family members and licensees. A son, relative or friend allowed to stay without rent is usually a licensee, not a tenant, and can be removed by a suit for possession and injunction once the licence is revoked. Senior citizens facing harassment by children or relatives in their own property can also approach the Maintenance Tribunal under the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act 2007, and in Delhi the rules under that Act provide an eviction procedure through the district administration.

What tenants usually argue, and how to prepare

Expect the tenant to challenge the notice: that it was never received, was too short, or was waived by later acceptance of rent. Serve it properly and keep the proof. Expect him to deny the landlord's title. A tenant who entered under the landlord cannot deny the landlord's title during the tenancy under the rule of tenant estoppel (section 116 of the old Evidence Act, carried into the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam), but disputes about inheritance or co-ownership among landlords still arise, so all co-owners should join or authorise the suit.

Expect a claim that rent control applies, that the rent is actually lower than shown, that the lease is a permanent lease, or that the tenant paid a large sum as pagdi or premium and acquired a stronger right. An unregistered lease for more than a year cannot be used to prove its terms, though it can be used for collateral purposes, and the tenancy is then treated as month to month. Keep rent records clean: bank transfers beat cash receipts.

Tenants on the receiving end of a notice should read our page on a reply to eviction notice; a careful reply often decides whether the case settles.

Mistakes landlords make

• Self-help eviction. Locking out the tenant, cutting power or water, or removing belongings invites police complaints and an injunction, and delays the real case.
• Defective notice. Wrong period, wrong name, wrong premises or no proof of service. Courts may accept a suit filed after the notice period, but a missing or unproved notice is fatal outside rent control.
• Accepting rent after termination. It can create a fresh tenancy by holding over. Accept money only as damages, without prejudice, if at all.
• Wrong forum. Filing a civil suit for premises covered by rent control, or before an authority that no longer has power, wastes months.
• No written agreement or police verification. Oral tenancies are harder to prove and invite claims of lower rent or longer terms. Use a properly drafted rent agreement.
• Not claiming mesne profits. Without a claim for use and occupation charges, the tenant has every reason to prolong the case.

What to do this week if you need to evict

• Find the rent agreement, rent records and proof of ownership.
• Work out whether rent control applies (in Delhi, check whether the monthly rent exceeds 3,500 rupees).
• Do not cut utilities, change locks or remove the tenant's belongings.
• Get a termination notice drafted and served by post and on the premises, and keep the proof.
• Stop accepting rent as rent after the notice; record any payment as damages without prejudice.
• If the premises are commercial, check whether pre-institution mediation applies.
• Note any sub-letting, misuse or damage with dated photographs.

Settlement, damages and the next step

Many eviction cases end in a settlement: a fixed date to vacate, adjustment of the security deposit against arrears, and a consent decree that can be executed if the tenant fails to leave. A consent decree is far better than a private understanding, because it is enforceable without a fresh suit. Courts and mediation centres encourage these settlements, and Lok Adalats can record them where both sides agree.

Damages for use and occupation from the date of termination are claimed as mesne profits and are often the lever that brings a tenant to the table. If the tenant still does not leave after the decree, execution of the decree through the bailiff is the final step. Where the occupant is not a tenant at all, see our page on recovery of possession.

Residential property: what changes

Residential property covers houses, builder floors, flats in group housing societies and apartments in developer projects. It is the property people care about most, and the law gives it more protection than commercial premises: consumer remedies against builders, rent control for old tenancies, special rules for senior citizens and family members. It also carries more family disputes than any other kind of asset.

The documents depend on the type. For an independent house or builder floor in Delhi, ask for the chain of sale deeds or the conveyance deed from DDA, the sanctioned building plan, the completion certificate, mutation in MCD records, the latest property tax receipt and electricity and water bills. For a flat in a cooperative group housing society, ownership runs through membership: the share certificate, the society's NOC and the Registrar of Cooperative Societies' approval of the transfer matter as much as the deed. For a flat in a developer project in Noida, Greater Noida or Gurugram, check the RERA registration, the builder-buyer agreement, the occupancy certificate, the tripartite sub-lease or conveyance deed, and whether the builder has paid the land dues to the authority, since unpaid dues have held up registration for thousands of buyers.

Stamp duty is charged on the higher of the price and the circle rate. Delhi charges women buyers a lower rate, and joint purchases fall in between; Uttar Pradesh and Haryana have their own concessions. Registration is at the sub-registrar office for the area, with both parties and two witnesses present. After registration, mutation in the municipal or authority record should be applied for, since it governs property tax and later dealings, even though mutation is not proof of title.

Disputes tend to fall into a few groups. Against builders: delayed possession, reduced area, poor construction and missing amenities, which go to the RERA authority or the consumer commission at the buyer's choice. Between landlord and tenant: old tenancies with rent up to ₹3,500 a month in Delhi are governed by the Delhi Rent Control Act 1958, where eviction for the landlord's bona fide need under section 14(1)(e) is the usual route; newer tenancies are contractual and go to the civil court or the rent authority under any new tenancy law the state has adopted. Within families: partition, wills and succession, and disputes over who may live in the house. Senior citizens can approach the Maintenance Tribunal under the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act 2007, which in appropriate cases has ordered children to vacate a parent's house. A wife's right to reside in the shared household under the Domestic Violence Act 2005 can also affect who stays in a property.

A few habits prevent most problems. Never buy on a GPA and agreement to sell alone. Insist on the occupancy or completion certificate. Keep original documents safe and certified copies handy. And put family arrangements about a house in writing, ideally a registered partition or family settlement, before a death or a marriage breakdown turns them into litigation.

Cases before the High Court

The High Court is the highest court in a state, and Delhi NCR falls under three of them: the Delhi High Court for Delhi, the Allahabad High Court at Prayagraj for Noida, Greater Noida and Ghaziabad, and the Punjab and Haryana High Court at Chandigarh for Gurugram and Faridabad. Each has writ jurisdiction under Article 226 against the State and its authorities, supervisory power over subordinate courts and tribunals under Article 227, and appellate and revisional jurisdiction in civil and criminal cases. The Delhi High Court also has original civil jurisdiction over suits valued above ₹2 crore, with a commercial division and an IP division.

Writ petitions make up a large share of High Court work. They are used against development authorities, municipal bodies, public sector banks, universities and government departments, and to deal with police inaction, cancellation of allotments, sealing, refusal of mutation or conversion, Look Out Circulars, illegal demolition and service matters that no tribunal covers. The court expects you to have used any statutory remedy first, such as an appeal to a tribunal, and to have come without unexplained delay. A writ is not suited to disputed facts that need a full trial; those go to the civil court.

On the criminal side, the High Court hears anticipatory and regular bail under sections 482 and 483 of the BNSS, petitions to quash FIRs and proceedings under section 528, appeals against conviction, revisions and leave to appeal against acquittal. On the civil side it hears first appeals from District Judges' decrees, second appeals on substantial questions of law, petitions against orders of tribunals and subordinate courts, and intra-court appeals from a single judge to a Division Bench. Petitions to appoint an arbitrator under section 11 of the Arbitration Act also come here.

Practice before the High Court is paper-heavy and depends on listing. Petitions are e-filed with a synopsis and list of dates, the impugned order, annexures, affidavits and court fee, and the Registry raises objections that must be cured before the matter is listed. Advance copies usually go to the government counsel or the other side. Fresh matters come up for admission or notice, and an urgent matter can be mentioned for early listing. If the other side has lodged a caveat, it must be heard before any interim order is passed.

Appeals from the High Court go to the Supreme Court by special leave petition under Article 136, filed within 90 days, and leave is granted sparingly. The High Court should not be the first stop where a cheaper forum exists: consumer, RERA, DRT and NGT matters belong there first. But where an authority acts without jurisdiction, ignores a statutory duty or threatens immediate harm that no tribunal can stop, a carefully drafted writ petition is often the quickest real remedy.

Frequently asked questions

How can I evict a tenant in Delhi?

First check whether the Delhi Rent Control Act applies; it excludes premises with monthly rent above 3,500 rupees. If it does not apply, end the tenancy by a valid notice under section 106 of the Transfer of Property Act and file a civil suit for possession and damages. If it applies, file an eviction petition before the Rent Controller on a ground in section 14.

How much notice must I give a tenant?

For a month-to-month tenancy, 15 days under section 106 of the Transfer of Property Act, unless the agreement provides otherwise. A fixed-term lease ends on its own at the end of the term. Rent control laws may require a demand notice for arrears before a petition.

Can I evict a tenant without going to court?

Not by force. If the tenant does not leave voluntarily, you need a court or Rent Controller order. Changing locks, cutting electricity or removing belongings can lead to criminal complaints and an injunction against you.

How long does an eviction suit take?

It depends on the forum, whether facts are disputed and the court's workload. Cases where the tenancy, rent and notice are admitted can end early through judgment on admission. Contested cases take longer, and we do not promise timelines because adjournments are outside anyone's control.

What is the bona fide requirement ground?

Under section 14(1)(e) of the Delhi Rent Control Act, a landlord can evict a protected tenant if he needs the premises for himself or a dependent family member and has no other reasonably suitable accommodation. Section 25B gives a summary procedure in which the tenant must seek leave to defend within 15 days.

Can I claim rent arrears and damages in the eviction suit?

Yes. You can claim arrears of rent, generally for the last three years, and mesne profits or damages for use and occupation from the date the tenancy ended until possession is delivered. Courts often order deposits during the suit.

Is an unregistered rent agreement valid for eviction?

A lease for more than one year must be registered, and an unregistered one cannot be used to prove its terms, though it can be used for collateral purposes. The tenancy is then usually treated as month to month, which a 15-day notice can end. Most 11-month agreements do not need registration.

Is an eviction of a commercial tenant a commercial dispute?

Often yes, where the premises are used exclusively for trade or commerce and the specified value is 3 lakh rupees or more. Pre-institution mediation is then mandatory unless urgent relief is sought. Courts have differed on some situations, so check the current position.

What is the law for tenant eviction in UP now?

In August 2026 the Allahabad High Court struck down key provisions of the UP Urban Premises Tenancy Act 2021, including the Rent Authority's eviction powers, and held that the earlier 1972 law revives to the extent required. Fresh eviction cases follow the Transfer of Property Act and Small Cause Courts route for now. Check the current position before filing.

Can a licensee be evicted the same way as a tenant?

A licensee has only a personal permission and no interest in the property, so rent control does not protect him. Once the licence is revoked, the owner can sue for possession and injunction. The occupant may claim to be a tenant, so the documents and rent history matter.

Can a bank evict a tenant from a mortgaged property?

Under SARFAESI, a bank taking possession may face tenancy claims, and the DRT can examine whether the tenancy is genuine and was created before the mortgage or with the bank's consent. A valid prior tenancy binds the bank and the auction purchaser, who must then use the ordinary eviction route.

Can parents evict a son from their house?

Yes. A son or relative living with permission is usually a licensee and can be removed by a civil suit once permission is withdrawn. Senior citizens can also approach the Maintenance Tribunal under the Senior Citizens Act, and Delhi's rules provide an eviction procedure through the district administration.

Should I go to RERA or the consumer commission against my builder?

You can choose either, as the Supreme Court held in Newtech Promoters v State of UP (2021), but not both for the same relief. RERA is often quicker for refund or delay interest under section 18; the consumer commission can also award compensation for deficiency in service. The choice depends on the amount, the relief you want and how far the project has progressed.

Can my son be evicted from my house if he harasses me?

In many cases, yes. The Maintenance Tribunal under the Senior Citizens Act 2007 has power to protect a parent's property and life, and courts have upheld eviction orders against children in suitable cases. The parent's ownership of the house and evidence of ill-treatment are the key facts.

Can I go directly to the High Court against a government authority?

Yes, through a writ petition under Article 226, but the court will first ask whether the relevant law gives you an appeal or other remedy and why you did not use it. A petition is usually entertained despite that remedy only where the action is without jurisdiction, breaches natural justice or violates a fundamental right.

Which High Court hears a case about property in Noida or Gurugram?

Property in Noida, Greater Noida or Ghaziabad falls under the Allahabad High Court, and property in Gurugram or Faridabad under the Punjab and Haryana High Court. The Delhi High Court may hear a writ if part of the cause of action arose in Delhi, but that is decided case by case.
