I HAVE PURCHASED A LAND IN 1993 THROUGH A VALID SALE DEED. IN 2017 I HAVE TAKEN A MESUREMENT BY PVT. AMIN, MY LAND HAS SHORT ABOUT 170 SQFT WHERE MY NEIGHBOUR HAS ALREADY MADE ILLEGAL CONSTRUCTION. WHEN WE APPROCH HIM HE HAS ASSURED ME THAT TO REMOVE THE CONSTRUCTION, BUT AFTER SOME TIMES ,HE REFUSED TO DO SO. HE HAS GIVEN ARGUMENT THAT NO ONE CAN REMOVE THE CONSTRUCTION AFTER 12 YEARS OF ADVERSE POSSESSION. HE HAS GIVEN HIS 170SQFT LAND IN ROAD & ENCROCH MY LAND. HE HAS MADE A ONE STOREY BUILDING OVER MY LAND . WHEN WE OPPOSE ,HE HAS NOT MADE ANY CONSTRUCTION OVER THAT WHERE AS HE HAS ALREADY MADE TWO STOREY CONSTRUCTION OVER HIS ACTUAL LAND.I HAVE APPLIED IN ANCHAL OFFICE FOR MEASUREMENT OF LAND & CIRCLE OFFICER HAS GIVEN THE REPORT THAT 170 SQFT LAND IS ENCROCHED BY NEIGHBOUR & MAKE ILLEGAL CONSTRUCTION.. I HAVE GIVEN A LETTER TO SHO ,DYSP,SP,CO,DCLR FOR REMOVING THE ILLEGAL CONSTRUCTION.BUT NO ONE IS READY TO TAKE ANY ACTION.

Your neighbor's encroachment and possession is illegal and he cannot perfect title by adverse possession.
The police will not be able to come to your rescue in this civil matter.
You have to file a suit for mandatory injunction against your neighbor to remove the encroachment and to deliver possession of vacant land to you.
Along with mandatory injunction you can also ask for permanent injunction against him restraining him from making further constructions to the existing structure.
