Fraud by survey officer in measuring land?

Hi,

There is some agricultural land that on record shows is 6acres in my name. Neighboring agricultural land belongs to a lawyer and on record shows 4.5 acres. But when I measure area using mobile app, his land comes at 5 acre and mine at 5.5 acres. I asked survey officer from revenue court to show me my land boundaries and he did not tell me any different boundaries that are already there. But I have a feeling that neighbor, being a lawyer, occupied 0.5 acre of my land and bribed survey officer to give me false boundaries information. What should I do?

First of all obtain the survey report from the government surveyor, compare it with government land revenue records to that of the registered title document held in your possession.

If you find that your neighbor has illegally encroached your property, you may file a suit for declaration to declare the title in your name and for recovery of possession of the encroached property and also a permanent injunction restraining him from interfering with your possession of the property in future
