you can claim easmentary right of necessity if there is no other access to your land

2) Section 13 of the Indian Easements Act deals with easement of necessity An easement of necessity means an easement without which the property cannot be used at all. Mere convenience is not the test of an easement of necessity. It can be claimed only when there is absolute necessity for it, i.e. when the property cannot be used at all without the easement and not merely where it is necessary for its reasonable, or more convenient enjoyment. A man cannot acquire a right of way as an easement of necessity, if he has any other means of access to his land however more inconvenient it may be than be passing over his neighbours.

3) under section 35 of easement act you can obtain permanent injunction restraining your neighbour from obstructing your right of passage . pending hearing and final disposal of suit you can claim interim reliefs .

Well, if you are using the land as the only pathway to reach your property since long then an easementary rights has accrued in your favour.

However the said usage of the land for the only pathway to have access to your land must be for long years and without any interruption

If that is so then file a declaratory suit claiming easementary rights over the said land and injunction against constructions of boundary wall.

File suit for right of way. If you are using that for many years and if there is no other way to reach your house then court will grant you right of way.

such a compound wall cannot be constructed

it will affect your easementary rights

these easement rights are valuable without which you cannot access your property

you will have to file a suit seeking mandatory injunction against the persons constructing the compound wall

you need proper layout plan to show that besides the access from 1B-3B, you do not have any other access to enter/exit into/from your property

1. You have the right to access your land through their property on the basis of easement by necessity.

2. You may file a civil suit to declare your easementary right and seek permanent injunction to restrain them from doing any act which may infringe your easementary right.

What is your question?

If your access to road is blocked by the opponent you may file a suit for easement rights.

If there is no other way other than the one what you have been using, you can get a permanent injunction in this connection

Discuss with your advocate and move on.
