Illegal Encroachment
NRI CARE SERVICES
Illegal Encroachment on Property
Illegal encroachment is a silent crisis for NRI property owners. It often begins with a small 'permissive' entry by a neighbor or relative and rapidly escalates into a permanent structural takeover or a claim of 'Adverse Possession'. Once a property is encroached upon, the legal path to eviction becomes increasingly complex.
Our firm provides a tactical legal response to encroachment. We focus on 'Possessory Title' and move early to secure interim injunctions that stop further construction or transfer of your property. We combine physical verification with high-court litigation to ensure your property remains yours.
Encroachment Identification
Understanding the nature of the takeover is the first step in crafting the correct legal remedy.
- Boundary Disputes: Managing disputes where neighbors gradually shift fences or build over shared walls to annex your land.
- Structural Encroachment: Dealing with unauthorized permanent or temporary constructions (sheds, rooms, shops) on your vacant land.
- Permissive Possession Abuse: Evicting caretakers or tenants who refuse to vacate and start claiming ownership rights.
Legal Eviction Strategy
We employ a multi-pronged approach to clear your land and restore its market value.
- Demolition Orders: Seeking mandatory injunctions for the demolition of unauthorized structures built on NRI land.
- Interim Injunctions: Securing 'Status Quo' orders from civil courts to prevent any further alteration of the property.
- Possession Suits: Filing 'Representative Suits' or specific performance suits under the Specific Relief Act to regain control.
