Respected Sir, My neighbors have built their stairs extending 4 feet onto the road, reducing the passage from 12 feet to just 4 feet. This makes it impossible to move building materials for my house. The property papers clearly state that each house should leave a 4-foot space for the road. Despite repeated requests, they haven’t removed the stairs. Could you please advise me on how to legally resolve this issue so I can proceed with my construction?

You can file a complaint with the local Municipal Corporation or the relevant authority, citing the violation of the property papers and the hindrance to your construction. You may also consider sending a legal notice to your neighbors demanding the removal of the encroaching stairs, followed by legal action if they don’t comply.

My aunt, a widowed Scheduled Caste woman, has lived in a 30×40 government plot in Bellary district, Karnataka for the last 25 years. She has built a 25×15 house on it with basic cement sheets. We’ve been paying our municipal taxes regularly. However, the house leaks badly during the monsoon. We tried building a small room on the remaining land but the Tahsildar and revenue inspector stopped us. We’re completely lost on what to do next. What can we do?

I’m a student who recently appeared for my 12th board exams in Madhya Pradesh. Unfortunately, I received a lower score than expected in one subject. I requested a certified copy of my answer sheet through RTI and found a clear mistake in the total marks – they missed adding 4 marks! I applied for a re-evaluation, but they haven’t updated my score and claim there’s “no change”. I’ve travelled twice to Bhopal, which is about 300 km away, but they keep saying they’ll inform my school about the correction. What legal options do I have to rectify this situation?

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?
