Right of way

Sir.. There is disputes happened with my fathers cousins and with us...in NILGIRIS houses are constructed in a line system. That is there wont be any compounds between these houses..anybody who has houses in the line will walk through others Till there will not be any problems arrives between this line house people's... Here in my case there are two houses constructed each house entrance facing one to other... I have documents for my house and for vacant land in front of my house till neighbors steps...the neighbors has to walk from my land only...since there was any problems we allow them to walk..but for the past 3 years we locked the way belongs to us now they are literally approached some political person and they brought taluk head to threatened us to give them way in our own land ....and also threatening us that saying they will give complaint through human rights commission... My mothers is 75 years old affected badly because of this issues...even their building constructed area is also ours...they don't have any documents for that otherthan house tax and electricity receipts... Please guide us Thank you
