Acquisition of land

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 02 October 2011 This query is : Resolved
Dear Sir,
Is it possible to procure land for public purpose(Running Auto, in case the real owner not allowed.
Current width is 4 ft.
Required ft 6 ft.

Real Facts:
We, 5 families in kerala using 100 years old driveway/pathway(Not panchayat driveway). Width of this driveway is 4.5ft.Now the new owner of this land restricted this driveway to 4 ft and said that as per Govt rules only 4 ft. Now he constructed wall in two sides of driveway because he is the owner of land situated in both sides of driveway.
We need 6 ft of width for running auto and we are ready to pay extra amount required for additional land. Free land is available. But the owner not allowed. Some patients are residing in these familes. I am a CA final stage candidate. This restricted drive way will affect my growth also.

I cannot say about the Govt. rule in Kerala but I will advise U to file Easement proceedings against the owner especially when he has unused land & U R willing to pay the price.
However, do check local land laws for better relief, if any.
