Our family left a small patch of land outside our compound wall, which wasn’t perfectly straight, and planted a few plants there. Our neighbour started renovating their house and, before we knew it, they had incorporated that land into their property, put up a gate, and even dug a water tank. We reported this to the police, but it didn’t help. We filed a civil case in the local court seeking an injunction. They claim they don’t have original property documents and only submitted photocopies. My neighbour filed the lawsuit three months ago but hasn’t registered the property in anyone’s name. Her husband is physically disabled, and he’s pretending to be innocent, claiming he’s been using our land for 20 years. But we bought our land and built our house nine years ago. We filed the lawsuit in the names of her husband and their daughter. Given that they don’t have original documents and we submitted ours a year ago, why is the court taking so long to decide?

The court likely needs time to assess the evidence, including your property documents and your neighbor’s photocopies, to determine ownership. The court may also need to investigate the claims of adverse possession and the physical disability of your neighbor’s husband, which could influence the outcome. The delay could also be due to the court’s workload and the complexity of the case.
