The remedy available to you is to file a lawsuit for eviction of the trespasser from the land owned by you. If the title deed is in your favour you stand a very good chance to recover the land. A criminal complaint for trespassing can also be filed against him,

Hi, The person who has build the house has no right to construct the house in your land so at the earliest you have to stop him to further construction but now construction is over so you have to file a suit for deceleration and possession of the property before the Jurisdictional court.

If you have the property purchase details and the registered sale deed in your possession, you may lodge a complaint for the land grabbing offences.

Did you enquire from the people who have constructed and occupied your property about this and the authority of their such act?

Besides you may lodge a complaint for criminal trespass.

You may file a eviction suit as well as for reliefs for trespass.

Check the how much area illegally possessed by someone. Find out the area.File a suit for recovery of possession and injunction against the trespasser. Check your area in title deed , obtained a location sketch from village office as per revenue records and title deed. Cope with evidence in favour of you and start to fight .

Meet a local lawyer .
