This query is : Resolved
30 years ago I bought an agricultural plot of land right on the lake side at Warasgaon near Pune as a farmhouse/ holiday plot of one hectare (2.5 acres)
Thereafter the Lavasa project took shape along this very lake and I am seeing that HCC has usurped the entire lakeside claiming it as their property.
To add to it, they have constructed an incomplete DAM across the lake and as a result the water level in the lake has increased and part of my legally owned property is now submerged.
I just cannot understand how this dam (just about a few hundred meters away from my property is this dam)has been built when private individuals own land along the lakeside.
I am afraid that these Lavasa people with their muscle and money power will just take away my land or say it is under water.
What do I do or am I just one more person cheated by big business.
Pls give me your valued advice as I am a senior citizen.

If there are similar cases in ur area, I suggest collective action against the Lavasa for carrying out works to the detriment and loss of property of the individual owners. For legal action u may have to move the court of competent jurisdiction or file PIL in the High Court. You may also consider approaching the concerned ministry(perhaps Urban Development Ministry) for intervention and ordering compensation.
