I have 2 plots, 25 cent 18 cents. This was bought by my father as a joint venture with another person Mr. X. Mr X. also has a few plots in the area. Their original plan was to buy the whole area, fill up the land and sell it immediately together. Most of this area was previously agricultural land, not just my fathers and Mr.X but the surrounding areas. Now the surrounding areas were bought by real estate people and have built big flats. Its just our combined land that is still empty. Though the plan was to sell it jointly, Mr.X is delaying the selling process. Now it is more than 10 years and still not sold it. He keeps telling, he is waiting for the right price. Both plots of my father dont seem to have a proper way from the road, it is sandwiched between other plots. It has a walkway as with agricultural land, walkway is also mentioned in the deed. But few of Mr. X's plots has entrance from road. Since the plan was to sell as a large plot there is no fence for individual plots, only low lying boundary wall separating the plots. My father passed away and now the land is looked after by my mother. Since the land is without fence, some local people get into our plot. To stop that we plan to build fence, but Mr X. does not allow that saying when potential buyers come to see the land, walls here and there will take out the beauty of the property. We don't know when the plot will be sold and we also doubt if Mr. X is waiting to get our land from us at a low price.
I would like to know
Is there any law on building a fence along agricultural land?
Any law that the walkway can be expanded?
How to go about protecting the walkway thats mentioned in the deed? What if the walkway disappears one day after we build the wall and we cannot enter our plot?
