What happens when getting your own home back turns into a journey that lasts for years?
When the licence on Chitra Pillai's family flat in Mumbai came to an end, they thought getting the flat back would be straightforward.
It wasn't.
What followed were years of notices, hearings, court orders, the Bombay High Court, the Supreme Court, police stations and, finally, the difficult task of turning an order on paper into actual possession of their home.
Mission Accomplished is the story of what that journey was really like for an ordinary family - the waiting, the frustration, the financial and emotional strain, and the determination it took to keep going.
Along the way, Chitra learnt lessons she wishes she had known at the beginning: the importance of documentation, setting clear boundaries, asking the right questions, seeking the right professional guidance and not giving up simply because the process becomes difficult.
This is not a legal handbook. It is the experience of someone who had to learn as she went along.
If you have ever wondered, "What would I do if this happened to me?", this book was written with you in mind.
