1) obtain copy of suit filed by the person claiming ownership of your land and copy of court order granting permanent injunction

2) contact a local lawyer and make application for being added as party to the suit

3) take our application for setting aside injunction order as you were never made party to the suit proceedings

Hello,

1) You need to approach the court tho get the injunction vacated submitting all the documents you have in possession to prove your ownership.

2) It is fit the court to decide whether there has been any error in reference to the survey number or of the injunction was obtained by hiding the truth from the court.

3) His political background would not help. Along with petition to vacate the injunction, ask the court to maintain status quo.

Such types of land mafias are very common in Bangalore and they will be targeting the properties which starts developing from landed property to house property.

If he says that he has a stay order or injunction ask him to proceed for execution, in the meantime you may also proceed to court with suit for declaration f title on your name on the basis of your sale deed, let him challenge that.

If the suit filed by you is going strong in your side, he will vanish from scene without contesting, so do not be pressurised by such tactics, stand up and challenge them.

Continue the construction, the Injunction order was not served on you by the person claiming to be the owner, it was only orally stated, if the same is served directly by the court that means you will have to cease all construction activities if the injunction states this very clearly.

If at all there is a case filed by Mr x that pertains to this property then you along with your seller will be defendant's in this case and through the due process of law you will get a court notice/summons duly served on you.

After this you can contact an advocate to assist you to defend your stand in this case, your seller has to also assist you in this endeavour.

if he uses muscle power or political power, lodge a complaint with the jurisdictional police (police can also be influenced by him) take an acknowledgement, thereafter you file an injunction suit against this person/s and take a restraining order against him from disturbing you or in any manner trying to disposses you from this property in any manner whatsoever.

at any cost do not let go of your physical possession over the plot.

The court has ordered permanent injunction against you, which practically restrains you from commencing any construction on the land. Now the only remedy is to challenge the order of injunction in a higher court as during the subsistence of injunction you cannot start construction. There is no other option. Engage a lawyer and get going.
