Legal Question in Consumer Law in India

land occupied

My father is a retired Ex-sub/Major (army).Now he is at the age of 64.

During his service Government has given 400SQ.Yards of land to all the solders who had participated in the war, on the payment of Rs 5000/-, in the Year 1984. In the same area they had given land to around 80 members.

Now the problem is, someone has occupied the land, removed all survey stones and Pass book is also done by them on our land by there name. Since 1984 we did not paid any taxes on that land. All the land was open area.

So what should we do, to handover the land?

Re: land occupied

There are some crucial questions.

Did you pay Rs. 5000/-?

Were you given possession of land?

Was the land mutated in your name?

Do you have proof of all the above?

When did you come to know about the encroachment on your land?

What action you have taken so far against encroachers?

Why did you not pay taxes since 1984?

Did you get tax demand notice from the municipality? Till when?

Proper legal advice / help can�t be given in the absence of the above details.

Re: land occupied

Write to concerned govt. office who made the alloment with the request to demarcate your land allotted by them and thereafter possessed the same and in case if the same found in possession of any person(s) than made the request the govt. official to remove the encroacher. This is the best way otherwise you will be in trouble
