Dear experts,
My plot came through ancestral property is about to take over by real estate mafia.
My grandfather who was working in Meenakshi Mills Ltd and also a member of Meenakshi Mills Workers Cooperative Industrial Housing Society got a 2960 Sq. Ft. plot. This plot was registered to my grandfather’s name by the Sub-Registrar, who has the official authority to do so during the above said mills was bankrupted at 1970. Like my grandfather there are 71 members getting similar kind of plots on their names. The plots are well planned over 5.9 acres of land with 20 ft road grid. Most of the members sold their plot and some of them are still retained in their name. My mother got this plot as a gift from my grandfather at 1984.
There are 30 houses well build over these plots and the occupants are leading ‘peace full’ life. Recently, a gang threatened the people and tries to encroach the un-occupied plots. While the other occupants object the same, the gang raising the false PCR complaint over the occupants. One of the occupants is practicing as a lawyer after his retirement from government service is strongly opposing the gang. But the gang received Madurai branch of Chennai High Court order on their favor to possess the whole land and it is mainly because of political support. However the lawyer facing alone the gang in the court, I want to help him some way or other. Since I am under central government service I may not frequently visit the court. So how can I face this situation?

Thanking you for your kind reply. My grandfather gifted that plot to my mother and it was registered in the register office on 1984. Moreover this mafia problem is common to all the 71 members (families) and one of the member is a lawyer who has legally facing the gang and we are paying some money to that lawyer once in a while for court related expenses.
