Issue after reconstruction of house
My grandfather bought one 1600 sqft plot. but due to misguidance he constructed the house in 2000 sqft area. After 60 years i planned to reconstruct the house, so i demolished the old construction and started building the new one. while making was on process My neighbour came and requested us to leave 2 ft gap but i ignored coz i never knew that we need to leave some gap between two plots as i was just constructing on same area. when the walls reached some height my neighbour broke the wall (I have video proof but its pretty hazy coz of evening ) . we went to police station for the complaint and filed FIR that the person broke our wall, used slang and threatened to death , but in return he filed the counter FIR with same allegations. Police took the matter to court and after few months it slowed down and we also didn't took much interest as the process was harassing, needed money each time we used to go court, We have no idea what happened to that case. About the land we came to know that it was our fault up to some extent 1: land on paper is 1600 sqft , but we built house in 2000 sqft, 2: when we asked RI to check the land we came to know that the half of the built up area is also in wrong land and in 1000 sqft there is someone else construction is there and there is a road connected to neighbours house 3: We paid tax of 1600 sqft till date.
I know its a mess around here but i need your help to come out of this scenario.

from above suggestions i am bit confused what to do ,
Either compromise with neighbour out of the court , and loose the possession i had from last few decades without any interruption/ Civil suit filled against my land
or
File a Declaration suit , show the possession in court and construct the land.
Dear Sir,
You people are the sharpest mind of country when it comes to law. Please suggest me a best way to construct my house and i can avoid problems in future. This land is in Orissa and from decades we are staying here without any problem, just to avoid problem in future i am looking for best way.
