You can file a complaint with the local authority responsible for enforcing building regulations. You can also file a civil suit for damages and an injunction against further construction. Additionally, you can consider mediation or arbitration to resolve the dispute amicably.

We own a cinema hall in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh. It has a spacious 3,000 square meter open area in front, a 1,500 square meter covered building, and 800 square meters of open space surrounding it. We’re considering selling the property. Is it possible to sell the property in parts, like the front open land separately, and the remaining building and cinema hall together? If so, where do we need to apply for permissions? If not, do we still need any permissions before selling the entire property in one go? Also, could we potentially develop a group housing project on this land? We would appreciate it if you could advise us on the relevant legal sections and permissions required.

I built a four-storey building with a stilt floor. I sold one floor, including one car parking space in the common stilt floor area. Now, I want to divide the stilt floor into two sections – one for parking in the front and the other for a room and bathroom for my personal use in the back. Is this legally permissible? The owner of the other floor says the entire stilt floor is common parking, but I told him he only has one parking space allotted, and the rest is mine to use. I want to use half the area for parking and the other half for my own space. What are my legal options?

A 1998 court order granted possession of a property to a landlord, but only described the land by its boundaries, not a plot number. The landlord claimed to have acquired the property from a third party through a registered document, mentioning the tenant as a contractor for the land. In 2011, the landlord sought execution of the decree. However, the tenant contested the execution, arguing that the property was not identifiable, was actually government land, and the area mentioned in the decree didn’t exist – the land in question was only 9 acres, not the 16 acres stated in the decree. A land commission was appointed, which confirmed these discrepancies. The questions are: Can the landlord execute the court order on this property? What legal options are available to the tenant in this situation?

Next Article I worked for almost 5 years at BEML in Bangalore and resigned with proper approval before joining HAL Bangalore. When my gratuity claim was denied, I filed a complaint with the Labour Commissioner (ALC) in Bangalore. The ALC ruled in my favor, but BEML appealed to the Deputy Chief Labour Commissioner (DY CLC). The first two hearings were missed by BEML, but their lawyer attended the third hearing and asked for an adjournment. If the appeal ultimately goes against me, what are my options? Also, is my demand for gratuity legally valid? I’m seeking an opinion on these matters.
