In the absence of specific width of footpath/pathway in agricultural land how can we deal with it.

Brief Details of the case are:
 In the year 1994 our father-in-law has sold Ac.0-22 cents of Agriculture Land to Smt. Prabhavathi with North Boundary as ‘Bata’ i.e. Baata (the width of passage/foot-path left by me to go to my agricultural fields)
 .Again in the year 1995 our father-in-law has sold Ac.0-26 1/4 cents of Agriculture Land to Smt. Prabhavathi with North Boundary as ‘Bata’ i.e. Baata (the width of passage/foot-path left by me to go to my agricultural fields)
 Later they constructed Appartments after obtaining simple permission from Urban Development Authority) by showing the North Boundary as ‘Road’ without mentioning either 20 or 30 feet and sold away the Appartments to 30 to 40 persons.
 Also registered to the Appartment flat owners North Boundary as 33 feet wide road.
The Municipality has laid 33 feet tar road.
 Now they have encroached our land that in the absence of width of specific mention North Boundary they have taken advantage of it.
 As per A.P. Survey and Boundaries Act Sec.26 wherever in the old document in the absence of specific mention of width of Bata/foot path or cart track the footh-path is 4 feet and Cart track is 10 feet.
 We have asked MRO to survey the land and mark our boundaries as per title deeds. But he did not done so.
 The MRO stating
i) the land is not sub-divided,
ii) There is no cart track as per FMB Field Measurement Book
iii) the present position is that ‘it is not agricultural land it is a residential area/Appartments’.
 Request to find any Suggestions please. I am very thankful for your kind help in this regard.

Dear All,
In a case, the Managing Committee, Chairman and the Secretary has not filed Form M-20 bond, the indemnity form with Registrar and has been managing the affairs of the society since last one year. Now what is the way out?
We received a legal opinion to reverse all the major acts done by the Committee in last one year, resign, appoint a new Committee and then again record all the major acts done by the previous Committee. My question is, Is it necessary to go to such a length for a small glitch in a procedure or is it possible to ratify all the acts done by the Committee during the last year.

Kindly help.

Surplus freight

Respected Sir (/s),

An Indian Shipping Agent collects Surplus (excess) amount on the freight invoice from the Importer or exporter as they are not aware of the exact amount (dollar rate fluctuation)on behalf of the Foreign Shipping Company by a Shipping Agency Agreement.

Suppose the Importer exporter do not apply for refunds or adjustments against future transactions, till how much time the Indian Shipping Agent should keep the excess amount with itself. Whether it can forward the same to the foreign shipping company since the excess amount have accrued on the invoice though the foreign shipping company have not provided any service for the same.

Dear LCI members/ Experts,

We appreciate your concern in fellow lawyer members/experts of LCI and share your efforts to give a call when they are being defamed by certain persons by posting abusive messages against them. However, we as admin at the first instance cannot prevent any person from making a post, as LCI being an open forum, any person can register and make a post. As admin, our team members can only monitor these posts and delete whichever is found abusive, improper etc. Even in the subject post, our team members have immediately taken note of and deleted the same. Also a report abuse button is provided if you feel that a thread needs immediate attention,kindly use it. To go beyond that is manually not possible.Since we are running a public platform, where there are more than 1.5 lacs members, and legal issues pertaining to disclosure of personal information without the consent of the member concerned are involved, we have to arrive at a decision only on proper legal analysis of the subject issue.

Also few competitors sites have been intentionally trying to malign our community by posting/spreading inflammatory messages, let us not try to play into their hands.

We sincerely hope that you would understand our position and appreciate the noble cause behind running this community.
