Land grabbing

Hi - One of neighbour has occupied our 1 acre of agricultural land near Dharmapuri, Tamil Nadu.When we asked him to vacate, he is telling that land belongs to his father's brother and when we asked for documentation he is not producing the same. When we asked him to vacate the land, he is threatening us to kill us and forcefully occupying the land illegally.

Can we file a criminal complaint and land grabbing case in this instance?

I understand that you're facing a distressing situation with your neighbor occupying your agricultural land in Dharmapuri, Tamil Nadu. Yes, you can file a criminal complaint and a land grabbing case. Here's a step-by-step approach: 1. _Gather evidence_: Collect documents proving your ownership, such as: - Title deed - Survey documents - Revenue records - Any other relevant documents 2. _Issue a legal notice_: Send a legal notice to your neighbor, asking them to vacate the land. This notice should: - State your ownership rights - Request them to leave the land within a specific timeframe - Warn them of legal action if they fail to comply 3. _File a criminal complaint_: If your neighbor refuses to vacate, file a criminal complaint with the local police station, citing: - Trespass (Section 441, IPC) - Threats (Section 506, IPC) - Land grabbing (Section 447, IPC) 4. _File a civil suit_: Simultaneously, file a civil suit for: - Injunction (to restrain your neighbor from occupying the land) - Declaration (to establish your ownership rights) - Possession (to regain control of the land) 5. _Seek legal representation_: Consult a lawyer specializing in property and criminal law to guide you through the process and represent you in court. Remember to stay calm and assertive in your approach. Document every interaction with your neighbor and keep a record of any threats or incidents. The law is on your side, and with the right support, you can resolve this matter and protect your property rights.

you can lodge a criminal complaint for illegal trespass and for the acts of threats to your life and also for damaging the property.

Besides you can file a suit for ejctment to eject him from the property and for possession.
