Legal Information
Below is a comprehensive legal analysis based on Indian law for your question.
Encroachment on your land in Kolkata can be addressed by filing a suit for possession and injunction before the civil court in West Bengal having jurisdiction. You must provide the title deeds, property tax receipts, and a survey report showing the encroachment. Under West Bengal Premises Tenancy Act 1997, you can also file a complaint with the local revenue authority for removal of the encroachment. You should also obtain a temporary injunction restraining the neighbor from further construction on the disputed portion. If the local authorities do not act, you can approach the Calcutta High Court under Article 226 for a direction to remove the encroachment.
