Layout approved road legal rights
Dear Sir/Madam,
Good day
I am having 15000 square feet of housing site classified as a housing site. The site is surrounded by
buildings on three sides (North, South, and West). The 24 feet road (entranceway) to the site is from
the east. The road to the site is now layout approved. The layout plan approval is given by the panchayat
union commissioner in 1993. The owner of the layout plot has sold all the plots. At present, the road
has got drainage facilities and cement road provided by panchayat union and also EB post laid.
Since this is the only way to our Site, now the plot owner (the person who sold the plot) is asking for money.
for using the road. In this regard, I need to know that, whether I am obliged to pay money for using
the road?
Since all the plots are layout approved. Maybe it was not documented to panchayat union as a gift
deed, but based on the layout approval, panchayat union constructed cement road as well as
drainage. So, I assume it’s a public road and may not be liable to pay anything to him. This is our stand,
so please give your guidance to solve this issue legally.
Thanks & Regards
V.Saravana Kumar
