If the land is in your name and your wife's name, it is not understood as to on what basis he is demanding 2ft wide land from your. It is advisable that you get your construction of boundary wall plan approved from the local municipal corporation and issue legal notice to the neighbour to stop creating obstruction else legal consequences will follow. If he is still adamant, then file a police complaint of tresspass and criminal intimidation against him. Simultaneously you can obtain orders from the court restraining your neighbour from creating any kind of obstructions in construction of boundary wall.

You go ahead and construct the wall on your property, if he obstruct it, probably you need to approach the civil court and obtain a injection against him

1. Is he disallowing you to build the wall on the land which is owned by you? If yes then you can move to court and seek a stay order to stop him from making interference in the construction.

2. Since you are living in Dubai your wife can move to court to seek the appropriate orders as she is a joint owner of the land.

if this road has been using for more that 20 years by that man then he can't claim to provide wide road because no easementary right is accrued in respect of that road. you should get temporary injunction by the court under order 39 of c.p.c. and prevent him to raise any obstruction in making boundary across the road.

you can give application before SDM under section 145 cr.p.c. for illegal obstruction then SDM will take a bond from him and prevent him from committing any illegal act.

1. Who is the owner of the land on which the said 1mtr way has been made?

2. Is it on your neighbour's land? Is it a private way to be used by you and himself?

3. Has the way been made by local panchayat/municipality?

4. If yes, then you are not bound to leave 2 ft to widen the said way,

5. If the land on which that 1mtr way has been made belonged to him and the width of the way according to local rule should be more than 1 mtr, then he can demand the balance area of the land to be given by you for widening the way as per local rule for the use of both of you.

1. Get your land surveyed by metes and bounds by the Govt. authorised surveyor.

2. When once the borders of your land are clearly marked by the surveyor, then you can build the border wall to your land and the neighbour can not object to that because the survey would have been done earlier and the clear demarcation of the land would have been marked.

3. Even though you are in Dubai, you can give POA to some body in your family, may be to your wife or any other person, on your behalf,. to arrange for surveying of your land in India.
