A case must be filed before the tehsildar for illegal occupation and usage of your land. A spot memo will be prepared by the court official and will submit a report.

Dear sir,

You'll have to file a suit for declaration that the disputed land belongs to you. 

You'll also have to claim a permanent injunction restraining your neighbour to interfere with your peaceful possession. 

Engage the services of a good local advocate even if you have to pay slightly higher fees. 

Hope this answer helps.

Best wishes.

On the basis of survey reports you have to file suit for possession of 10 guntas which was illegally occupied by him. It amounts both criminal offense as he criminal tres passed into your land. It is also called encroachment of your land.

- Since, you are the owner of the 6 acres 34 gunta  agricultural land , and the same already shown in the survey , then the said neighbour cannot take any portion without your consent , and the said encroachment is an offence . 

- You can lodge a complaint before the police and to collector as well. 

- Further , you can file a Mandatory & Permanent injunction suit against him to remove him from your 10 gunta portion.

  1. As per the information mentioned in the present query, makes it clear that the land belongs to you as per the title documents, but the other person claiming it to be his for a reason that he has been using it.
  2. I would like to apprise you that he cannot claim any right in the property as the same belongs to you and even if you have him with consent also then also he can’t make it as his at any point of time.
  3. He can’t even take the benefit of adverse possession as the law is not applicable in this case.
  4. You should file a civil suit before the civil court of law for recovery of possession of the land plus declaration suit with an application for injunction from creating third party interest therein.
