Right of Way (Easement rights in farm land)

06-Feb-2023 (In Civil Law)

Our farm land is almost 750m from the road. There used to be a narrow way before. In the past 4-5 years, some land was acquired from the land owners and widened the way so that lorries can reach up to my farm land. The cost of widening was shared across all the land owners. Now we are planning to register the right of way to this widened path. We are hearing multiple versions on how to do this. n1. The concerned registrar was suggesting that we need to consider the whole 750m of widened road which comes to almost an acre and register the same. The cost of such registration would be close to 2 lakh for me. n2. Someone suggested there is Book 4 registration which would not cost me more than 10K. But the registrar told a middle man that Book 4 registrations are banned in Andhra Pradesh. nnThe first option looks like I am making a Sale deed. And this right of way is not solely to myself but for 10s of farmers. What is the best way forward in my case.

It sounds like you are looking for advice and guidance regarding how to best register the right of way to the widened path on your farm land. This can be a tricky situation, so it is important to get the best advice in order to ensure that you and the other members of the land owners community are protected. The first option that the registrar suggested, of registering the whole 750m of the widened road, may indeed be the best way to go. This would provide protection for the entire group of farmers who are benefiting from the widened path, and it would also protect the rights of the land owners who gave up some of their land to make it possible. The cost of this option may seem high, but in the long run it would be worth it, as it would ensure that everyone’s rights are protected. However, the suggestion of using Book 4 registration may be an option as well. This type of registration is often less expensive, and it may provide some measure of protection to the land owners. However, it is important to make sure that Book 4 registration is allowed in Andhra Pradesh, and that it will provide the legal protection that you need. It is also important to consider any potential issues with this type of registration, such as the fact that it may not provide the same level of protection as the other option. Ultimately, it is important to make sure that you get the best advice for your specific situation. It may be a good idea to speak to a professional lawyer or other legal expert who can provide advice and guidance on the best way forward for you and the other members of the land owners community. This will ensure that everyone’s rights are protected, and that the best possible outcome is achieved.
