Hello,
1) you can, and probably should, talk to your neighbor about it. He might be able to move the structure, or you might come to some alternate arrangement. Resolving any disputes out of court can save both of you legal fees, as well as the stress of hiring lawyers and going to court. If you and your neighbor decide to leave the encroachment in place, you may consider giving them written permission to use your property. This can prevent a later claim of adverse possession.
2) Alternately if the neighbour is willing to pay a price for the portion of the land he wants to use and you are willing to sell you may do so.
3) Legal option is to file a suit demanding the demolition and vacation of the neighbour. It is difficult to predict how long it will take and if they can prove in court that they have been using your land in this manner for quite a length of time they can manage a verdict in their favour as well. The litigation can go on for years.You will need to prove in court your ownership and the improper and illegal use by the neighbour.

Hi, you to file a suit for mandatory injunction and request the court to demolish the shift toilet.
1. To remove the encroachment you should file a lawsuit for eviction against the neighbours, which they will be allowed to contest by entering defence. This apart, you can also seek compensation from them in the same suit for encroaching your property.
2. A criminal case for trespass can also be filed against them. If they are held guilty they can be jailed for up to 7 years by the court.
3. Nobody can tell how long it will take in the court as this depends on local factors such as pendency of cases, etc.
1. You can lodge a police complaint against them for encroaching in to your ares and constructing a toilet and pit,
2. If police fails to take action within 30 days file a writ petition against police inaction before the High Court,
3. With the help of Court order you can demolish the sasid unauthorised construction.
You have to file a suit for mandatory injunction against the people who have reportedly encroached your portion of property restricting them from using your landed property for their convenience with an application for ejectment if they have encroached your property. You can file an application for appointing advocate commissioner to find out the encroachment and submit his report.
The court case may take years for disposal, so you have to go by the court proceedings regularly.
