Here the land has been under our possession since 30 years which is inside a society, now just to yield money out of us, the newly appointed parshad is bringing it to attention of the government so that he can make that land out of our possession and make some shed for Villagers to sit which in-turn start the disturbance in the society.

This type of activities by the village heads for their own benefits out of their envy on others are the reasons for all such troubles. You may approach court with an injunction suit agaisnt them restraining them from interfering into your possession and enjoyment of the property.

Can you please suggest a way with which we can bring our stand and apply for lease to government as my mother is widow and that's the only support she has for his basic needs.

You may consult an advocate in the local and follow the steps suggested above.
