Injunction on part of BDA approved layout, Bangalore
Request your advise on the below matter.
Reliable Woods is a BDA approved layout in Kudlu, Bangalore. We are the first owners of the plots post BDA approval and have now acquired BBMP A Khata.
The land was sold by a farmer in 2001 to the Reliable Developers. We bought the plots in 2007, post BDA approval of the layout. In the documents shared with us during purchase, for the farmer, mention of one wife and children was available in 2001 sale documents.
In 2012, a lady, claiming to be daughter from his second wife, has come forward and put up a case (OS 722/2012, Kudlu), asking for compensation from the farmer's sons & Reliable Developers (individual plot & khata owners are not in the accused list of the case).
In this case, she had put an injunction on part of the layout, to a specific survey number. This is preventing any legal sale of the individual plots. This year, an owner was able to sell his plots falling under the survey number, it appears, with some out of court settlement with the lady.
Request to advise,
1. on the validity of the case (as it has more than 12 years gap) and
2. can injunction be removed on part of the survey land, to facilitate individual sale of plots.
She keeps approaching few built house owners residing in layout asking for money but no one is entertaining. Case is dragging hence delaying benefits for the owners who bought believing its a BDA approved layout hence legally valid.
