My father built a house in 2001 on a 30x40 site in a residential area (not a layout)of Bangalore. He got an electricity connection in 2001 and E-Khata in 2019. In 2020, he gifted the property to me through a registered gift deed. We left a 2-foot setback at the backside of the house while constructing.
In 2023, our neighbour encroached 1 foot of the setback and built a wall. We filed a suit for injunction and removal of the encroachment. The neighbour has no documents, no khata, and hasn’t filed a written statement, case is still pending.
My lawyer says I need a title deed to win the case, but I have the gift deed, E-Khata, tax receipts, and electricity bills. Can’t I still win the case without a title deed?
