• No path to home

We have purchased a piece of land in 2004 and house over it had likely been built in 2008. The land patta adjoining to main road belongs to other person and behind his boundary there exists our home and land. Earlier people used that patta to reach there homes and we too used that patta for getting construction material to our land. at that time no one objected but later on after build up of home..the front of the house was sealed by claim that the land belongs to him and he cant give us path to home through his land. peoples of the area then started using other old ways of area to reach there homes but it was the only way for our home. we filed a civil suit but not got in favor as they were successful in defining that no old path exists through his land and there are other ways to our home. 
but in real there exists no way to our home. so we are now in trouble .the house is now a cage from every side and thr is no way to get into the main road. please help us....

You can claim easmentary right necessity if there is no other access to your land 

 

2)

Section 13 of the Indian Easements Act deals with easement of necessity An easement of necessity means an easement without which the property cannot be used at all. Mere convenience is not the test of an easement of necessity. It can be claimed only when there is absolute necessity for it, i.e. when the property cannot be used at all without the easement and not merely where it is necessary for its reasonable, or more convenient enjoyment. A man cannot acquire a right of way as an easement of necessity, if he has any other means of access to his land however more inconvenient it may be than be passing over his neighbours.

3) you can under section 35 of easement act obtain permanent injunction restraining your neighbour from obstructing your right of passage

 

4) file an appeal against trial court order if no reliefs have been granted to you

You filed a civil suit for declaration of easementary right but the suit has not been decreed in your favour. Now the only remedy in your hands is to file an appeal in the first appellate court against the judgment of trial court. The appellate court can re-appreciate the entire evidence on record and set aside the judgment of trial court.

You can try to purchase the path way land from its owner to have road access.

When you bought this property did you not enquire about this serious problem?

What about your vendor's document, whether it is having a mention about the road access from your land?

You may have to file an appeal against the trial court's decision seeking the relief of easement rights even if it is at the cost of buying the adjacent land
