This query is : Resolved
my grandmother has 4 sons, they have inherited a plot of land.
the plot of land is in the form of a rectangle, the width of which is along the main road and the land goes away from the main road along its length.
the land has been divided along its length such that my dad, who is the youngest, has got the piece which is farthest from the main road.
my dad has built a house in it, whereas his brothers havent yet.
since the starting there was a common understanding that everybody will use a common 8ft path to come to the main road.
we have been using it for the last 12 years.
Now rest of his brothers are planning to sell the land and are telling my father that they will not give him access to this path to the main road as they will sell it.
behind the plot there is a 2-3 ft small gully, which they are telling us to use. this gully is not connected to the main road.
what should we do. we feel cheated.

If pathway is mentioned in the deed nobody can question your father's right. But if it is not so ,your father can approach civil court for getting pathway for his property.
