Purchased plot in unapproved layout
Hi,
I've purchased a panchayath approved plot in the outskirts of Hyderabad around 7 years ago (gated community which falls under HMDA master plan). At that point of time, I made a mistake by not paying attention to aspects such as HMDA/DTCP (Town planning authority) approval.
Recently, one of my friends told me that such plots are deemed illegal and will be taken back by the government. However, when I researched in MRO office/online with the survey numbers, they are not part of any prohibited lands and still considered to be a part of residential area in the sub-registrar and MRO records.
After further research, I’ve been told that I might not get permission to construct a house unless the government shows us mercy to regularize. My fear is that the plot itself being taken over by the government/municipal authorities.
Question 1: Would it be possible that the government/municipality will take over my plot just because the layout is illegal even though it doesn’t come under any prohibited, assigned, waqf lands?
Question 2: I see that a few plot owners adjacent/opposite to my plot have already constructed houses just by taking panchayat approval, if I try replicating the same am I risking my house by putting it under the radar of HMDA/Municipal authorities to get demolished?
Thanks in advance for your help.
