If there was existing a pathway for road access and ingress and egress purposes earlier and now it has been blocked, then you can approach court with a suit for mandatory injunction to remove the blockade and for easement rights by necessity to facilitate you to have road access and provide pathway for this purpose and also a permanent injunction agaisnt those who restrict your movement through the pathway.

Get the encroachment removed by Forest department.
However, how and why forest department can oblige you for an approach road to your house ?

The forest department will be concerned only if the forest land has been encroached.
Whereas your neighbor has blocked the pathway, hence you can take action directly against him by filing a suit seeking mandatory injunction to direct him to remove the compound wall and to provide you the way for your road access from your property and for your ingress and egress purposes, for this in addition to mandatory injunction, you have file suit for easement rights and also an application for permanent injunction to restrain him from repeating the similar situation in future.
