My ancestors bought land in 1964 but it wasn’t registered. The land is still in my grandfather’s name and we’ve been using it all along. Now, the current owner is refusing to let us access the land. I only have the 1964 registration paper for the purchase. What should I do? The current owner is being very aggressive and won’t let us use the land.

You have a strong claim based on adverse possession, as you’ve been using the land continuously for over 12 years. Consult a lawyer immediately to file a case for declaration of title and possession. The lawyer can also advise on seeking legal remedies against the current owner’s aggression.

In Greater Noida West, builders are demanding an additional 20% of the basic price at the time of possession, claiming it’s for escalation and farmer compensation. They included a one-sided agreement mentioning the “company can raise any additional demand at any time”. They say they paid farmer compensation in 2012 and resumed work in 2013, paying more. However, this hike wasn’t disclosed until possession, kept hidden for four years. This seems like a clear case of cheating and fraud. My questions are: 1. A group is approaching the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC). How long will it take approximately to resolve the case? 2. My additional payment is around ₹4 lakhs. Can I file a case in the District Court and also in the NCDRC? 3. If the group is going to the NCDRC, can I file a separate case in the District Court as an individual? 4. How long will it take approximately for a case to be resolved in the District Court?
