Hi
You can challenge the road widening and demolition of property in the high court .
Generally in case of road widening, government gives compensation and alternative patta land for people losing their land to road widening.
Also in the event of availability of government land near by, you can always challenge the road widening at High court as government is supposed to use excess surplus land instead of acquiring private property.

Dear Client,
You along with other effected persons can file a representative writ petition in the concerned High Court and obtain order against Municipal Corporation from not to extend the road through your residential houses. Engage an expert advocate who deals in similar cases and got legal expertise in the matter by all the inmates.
