CAN NEIGHBOURER CLAIM 3 FT FRONT ASKING HIS CLAIM WITH.NEW MEASUREMENT HE GOT DONE WITHOUT OUR KNOWLEDGE.What should i do?
Dear Client, your neighbour cannot claim 3 feet of your land just because he got a new measurement done privately without your knowledge, as such a measurement has no legal value. You should first check your original registered sale deed and property documents which clearly mention your boundary lines. Then approach your local Tehsil or Patwari office and request an official government survey to confirm the correct boundaries, as this will legally override any private measurement your neighbour is relying upon. If your neighbour still insists on his claim or tries to physically occupy that 3 feet portion, immediately send him a legal notice through a local advocate and if needed file a complaint to stop him from encroaching on your property or 145 crpc to EM. Your registered documents are your strongest proof and the law will protect you, so do not panic and act quickly by securing your paperwork and consulting a local property lawyer at the earliest.
No, a neighbour cannot claim 3 ft of your front area just because they got a new measurement done without informing you. That alone has no legal force.
Check these documents carefully:
* Your sale deed / registry
* Layout plan approved by authority
* Previous boundary markings or possession history
Your neighbour cannot legally claim any part of your property merely on the basis of a new measurement done without your knowledge or consent. Property boundaries must be determined through official revenue records, sale deeds, site plans, and measurements conducted by authorised government officials following proper procedure and notice to all parties. You should immediately collect and verify all your property documents, including registry papers, sanctioned plans, and previous measurement records. It is advisable to request an official demarcation from the concerned revenue or municipal authority in your presence. Do not allow any construction or encroachment until the dispute is properly resolved. If the neighbour attempts to forcibly take possession, you may issue a legal notice and file a civil suit seeking injunction and protection of possession.
