Property Boundary Dispute in kolkata with my neighbor what to do


09-Aug-2023 (In Property Law)
Respected Sir/Madam, I am a Hindu Male, living in Kolkata. My neighbor is building a house at a distance of less than 1-foot from my own boundary wall. He's also blocking a road that I have used in the past, claiming it as his own land. He's refusing to show me his Site Plan. Is it within my Rights that I can demand a copy of his Site Plan? Also, is there any other way to obtain his land's Exact Site Plan with proper measurements; from Municipality or BLRO or any other such official records? Does RTI act apply in this case? What legal course can I follow? Please Advise. Regards....

Legally no one can be compelled to disclose his property documents to other person unless there is an order from the competent authority. Alternatively you may check from your documents as to whether any encroachment caused to your property.If any encroachment is found you can lodge a formal complaint with the building plan sanctioning authority with a copy thereof to the local police Station for administrative action at their end.For legal course of action if required afterwards, you may contact lawRato.

Dear client,
As per the details provided by I would like to suggest that you can lodge a complain to the Concerned Municipality as leaving only 1 feet from the boundary wall itself is violation of building rules and even if no action is taken by the Municipality then you can file a petition under section 144 of the Crpc and can file writ in case of further violation or else you can also seek injunction against them in Civil Court.
yes Corporation and BLRO comes within the purview of the RTI act.
