Our village has a piece of common land where two houses are located—one owned by Party 1 (Own family) and the other by Party 2 (relative's family). Recently, Party 2 has begun operating a business (similar to a hotel) on this shared property without informing Party 1 or obtaining a proper No Objection Certificate (NOC) from us. This business is for private use by Party 2 and involves the commercial utilization of the common property.
We would like to understand:
- Whether such commercial use of the shared property is legally permissible without the consent of Party 1.
- The legal steps Party 1 can take to prevent the unauthorized use of the property by Party 2.
