• Encroachment of land

1.We purchased some 2500 sqft of land from co-oprative society in darbhanga in 1996. The land was full of water until 2013-14, so exact measurement and boudary wall was not prepared. Although, mutation alreday done in 1998 and we have been paying tax to government every year.

2. Around a year back, when we went to the site, it was found that other purchaser have enclosed their land with brick wall sometime in 2016-17 and in that process they have encroached my land from three sides. So my land is, in effect, non existent at the site as others have encroached / occupied probably to fulfill their requirement as per their registry paper ( even more also but not sure at the juncture). This has been reported by sarkari ameen through his report ( in response to our request in CO office to measurement of my land)

3. We are also not sure that whether the secretary/chairman of the co-operative society has sold more land than what physically that society possessed. This may lead to encroachment by earlier purchaser also as each purchaser will try to take possession of land and the last one will be left with only paper but no physical land. currently as per ameen's report, my land is encroached by my adjacent owners and their lands are encroached by their neighbors.

4. Now can I file criminal case as I do not want to venture in title suit as it takes longtime? If I file criminal case then I have to do against each neighbour? Or else can I file forgery and criminal case against the secretary of the co-operative society who was also one of the tho person signed registry document in 1996 ( second person already expired) for giving me possession of my land as per the registry paper?

5. What other remedies are available and whom to approach in Bihar with Ameen's report to resolve it in time boud manner. My parents who are owner of the property are senior citizen.Can I go to any administrative/police authority or can i file case at DCLR court. Can Circle officer/DCLR be effective in removing encroachment.
