Civil remedy is the solution.

The road you had been using upto 2004 was a private road as agreed by you. Then the question of getting any easementary rights over the road does not arise.

It was a concession given by your neighbour to use the land as road for a certain time, and it is not a perpetual right over the same.

If you do not have any other road and only through your neighbour's place you could have a case. Could you prove that your neighbour induced you to use the road through his place?

if u had been using the road for 25 yeras, then it would have been converted into your easementry rights but unfortunately the time period is only 23 years.
