Private land encroachment

Respected Seniors ,

On behalf of one of my Close Friend whose Plot is been Encroached recently, I want to seek the appropriate remedy. 

FACTS:

1)   The said Plot was purchased from the First owner, on 18/04/2011 vide a Sale deed was executed and registered at Joint Sub Registrar Class 2 office among the Buyer and seller along with TWO witnesses.  

2)   The said plot is within the vicinity of Village wherein the mutation entry in Village form 02 is completed by TALATI of the village in the name of purchaser.

3)   Since 3 years, we haven’t taken the possession nor any fencing was done from our side, no formalities with respect to Municipal Corporations were done from our end.  

4)   On 2nd April 2014, someone has done the fencing with the poles. On inquiry done by the relatives of the purchaser it is found that the person has encroached the plot because he had paid 36 installments before 35 years to the First Owner from whom we have Purchased the plot, however it is a assumption that the person who have done the Fencing does'nt have any Documents support with him. 

Queries:

1)   What shall be the correct legal remedy in the above case, whether to file a u/s 427,447, 441 of IPC?  OR

2)   u/s 145 CrPC before SDM/DM

3)   If want to take the help of Local Police, can they be approached u/s 447, 341 & 506 of IPC and u/s 156 (3) of CrPC.

4)   Any other suitable remedy by approaching Collector’s Office?

Hallo....There are two civil remedies

1. You can approach to the civil court by filing civil suit for Injunction against the encroacher. In this case you have to file suit on the basis of sale deed and stating that you are in possession by way of fencing, though the said encroacher has made it [fencing].

2. Secondly, if you don't want to state that you are in possession, then you have to file suit for possession before the civil court.

3.so far as criminal proceedings are concern you have to file the said proceedings against your vendor along with encrocher, if you file criminal proceedings, then there are chances to get possession immediately, with the help of police authorities..

yes, you can... but it is not easy...you have to convince the police authorities...

Vikas Jain (Advocate)     14 April 2014

Dear Sir,

As opined by you, we need to file the Criminal Proceedings against the person from whom the Plot in question is here, and also against the encroacher. 

Sir, I really thank you for this opinion , may  I know under which section and which Act , also let me know who shall have the jurisdiction in case we file the Crimi. Proceedings.

 

Sir, I stay in Gujarat and the said plot is in Amravati District of Maharastra, Request for your possible extended help please

Regards

Mahesh R. Sonawane (Lawyer/Fight for justice)     14 April 2014

Sir, I think, if the encrocher has paid 36 instalments to your vendor, then your vendor has cheated you, hence

first you have to file complaint to the nearest Police station at Amravati for Offence U/s. 420, 447,341,506 ect..on the basis of Sale deed, If the police authorities not take any cognizance, then file proceedings U/s. 156[3] BEFORE THE NEAREST MAGISTRATE COURT Amaravati.

Vikas Jain (Advocate)     14 April 2014

Dear Sonawane Sir,

The statement of 36 installment paid by the Encroacher has come to my understanding by the Broker, who was paid and involed in the entire deal, however it is also been conveyed to me that the encroacher is not having any written documents in his support for the same.

What shall be the correct remedy in this Case sir?

Regards

In my opinion besides a complaint for trespassing, encroachment, land grabbing and if required for criminal intimidation, you have to simultaneously file a suit for injunction and eviction against the miscreants.
