• Illegal building in my property hypotheticated to bank

My industrial land given to bank as collateral for a business loan which turned out NPA account. 

Recently I was in hospital for medical reasons from March till May during this time my brother made a deal with the buyer for land and allowed him construction at my land and the bank also refused sale for lower value. 

Now when I am back I find someone occupied my land with constructed building using without bank permission or sale deed or any paper work or any agreement with me. 

During my hospitalisation they have deposited only RS 2 lacs without my knowledge to my account. I believe they had some understanding with my brother. There is no any written or verbal or any communication between me and the illegal tenant 

Kindly advise legal approach and procedures.

The land has been hypothecated to the bank and hence you dint have any right to construct anything on it.

Your brother has played fraud upon you by doing this and the bank will sue you in case it decide to take action.

Remove the person who has done construction on it and inform the bank about it.

You may not have to worry about this property since you have already given this collateral security to the bank for loan purpose and the loan has become NPA.

The bank will take action to take possession of the property at a later stage when they are trying to recover the loan amount.

If you are concerned about the proeprty then you may lodge a criminal complaint against your brother and the person who has constructed a structure in the property.

Besides, you can file a mandatory injunction suit to remove or demolish the structure put up in yor property without your permission or consent and for possession of vacant land.

You have evidences that you were hospitalized during that period which will be sufficient to prove your innocence about this illegal occupancy of the intruder in the property.

In order to recover your land after removal of encroachment you will have to file a law suit for possession in the civil court. Your remedy lies only before a court of law. In addition to a case for possession.File a criminal complaint for trespass against them.

If they claim the advance amount yo may return the same, until then let it remain in yor account itself, dont spend it. 

Let them come to a conclusion about it and you can wait until then.

Dear Client

you can approach the tenant first to vacate your land and also give them a written Notice to Vacate the land in 10 days. Also return the money deposited in your bank account without your Knowledge through Cheque or online transfer and hand over the copy of receipt to tenant. As they Don't have the permission or any agreement from you. and bank also refused the deal. you can easily get your land back.

if this doesn't work you can approach police for eviction of illegal possession by trespass on your land.

or eviction petition in the court is last way through which you can get your land back.

Dear Sir,

 You have to immediately get issue a legal notice to all the concerned followed by a civil suit for recovery of possession and demolition of structures. You must alleged that bankers colluded with third party and causing loss to you. Since your property is hypothecated the bankers are under fiduciary duty to make periodical physical verification of the property and see that no construction is raised on such hypothecated property.
