If the property no more belong to our mother she can be booked for criminal trespass offences. In addition you can also file a mandatory injunction suit restraining her from interfering with your peaceful possession of the property without any rights and also to evict her if she is illegally squatting in the property refusing to vacate.

You can consult your lawyer and discuss at length about all such further issues.

A. What you have taken action against your mother is absolutely right step and first you need to get FIR copy to see under which section she has been involved her?

B. File a suit for eviction before the Court immediately and else, tenant will file suit against the present landowner i.e, your son for recovery of possession.

1. Was the status quo issued by the court?

2. Your son is required to file a lawsuit for eviction to evict your mother from the property which is owned by him.

3. If the status quo had been issued by the court then your mother is liable to be punished for contempt of court. Your son can initiate contempt proceedings against her.

You should follow it up with the police and see that they make arrests as per FIR, but if the police are very lethargic, you may move another application within 15 days of this complaint's inaction to the higher police official of the district seeking its intervention to direct the local police for an expeditious and effective action to fetch you relief.
