My father gifted me our ancestral home in India. My uncle, who owned the property next door, sold it to a neighbour 25 years ago. We’ve always shared a common wall peacefully. Now, after I started renovating my house, the new owner claims his property is 2 feet smaller than what’s on paper. He refused to show me his documents and threatened legal action. I had to build my wall 3/4 foot away from the shared boundary. We even made a formal agreement on stamp paper. But now he’s denying the agreement and says I can’t build a wall at all. What legal options do I have to protect my property rights?
You can seek legal recourse against your neighbour's claim by presenting the formal agreement on stamp paper, which is legally binding in India. Furthermore, the 25-year peaceful co-existence with your uncle, the previous owner, strengthens your claim of rightful possession and shared boundary.
