BBMP has put up a board on my property "This property belongs to BBMP"
I own an empty plot measuring 2400sqft in Bengaluru within BBMP limits, with property tax regularly paid since more than 20 years. As it is an empty site, unknown people keep dumping garbage there, usually during night, and I get them cleaned every 2 months at my own cost. Recently, as it is election time, BBMP officials have taken a drive to clear garbage and have removed some garbage from my site (without notice to me). But they now have put up a signboard reading "This property belongs to BBMP" inside my site. 1) Is there any provision under KMC act or BBMP bye-laws that gives them authority to place a board claiming my property as theirs, only for recovering trivial fines related to site cleaning? 2) As the property owner with no tax default, can I remove the sign myself? Else, What are my legal options? Thank You.

1. Perhaps your vacant plot which is under BBMP limits is not fenced or compounded, unknown people dump garbage there.
2. To trace the owner to make him pay fine for dumping the garbage the BBMP has erected a signboard so that the owner of the plot contacts BBMP and pays the fine.
3. Contact the jurisdictional BBMP office and get the signboard removed from your plot.
You issue a legal notice to the BBMP authority to remove the board kept in your property immediately, if they don't remove it then you file a suit for permanent and mandatory injunction suit against them to restrain them from interfering in your possession and enjoyment and to remove the board from your property.
This will safeguard your future interests also.
No such provision. File suit of injunction against the BBMP.
Dear client, the BBMP cannot claim a private property as its own. There is no provision in law which gives them authority to take private land without an agreement with the land owner.
You can submit the relevant copies of the documents of the land and receipts of taxes paid by you to the BBMP and ask them to remove the board from your land.
1. Government can acquire a property to requisition it for public purposes. Unless and until that is done following a due process of law and on payment of good compensation no public authority cna put up such kind of board.
2. Yes, you can do so after informing the BBMP office.
You don’t remove the same you can approach court for the same
1) If your plot is in an approved layout, and the sale deed is registered in in your name, BBMP cannot claim that the property belongs to it. Please engage a competent lawyer send them a suitable notice establishing your right as the lawful owner of the property and demanding removal of the signboard immediately.
2) No, it is not advisable. Please be guided by my answer to Q.1.
