advisable to form an association 

It is advisable that you form a registered residents welfare association which becomes a legal entity and an authorised organisation to fight for the rights of its members.

You can consult an experienced lawyer of this website in person or consult over phone and discuss about further formalities to form the RWA.

You can also choose a consultant outside this website too to get your task completed.

You can file proceedings against him under easement law and seek remedy

To protect your rights and address the obstruction of road access, you and the other plot owners can form a Resident Welfare Association (RWA) under the Karnataka Societies Registration Act, 1960. This requires drafting a Memorandum of Association (MoA) outlining the association’s objectives, electing office bearers, and registering it with the Registrar of Societies, BBMP jurisdiction. Once registered, the association can formally file complaints with BBMP against the adjacent layout owner for blocking the road and, if necessary, initiate legal proceedings for an injunction to prevent further obstruction. Additionally, if the obstruction is deliberate, you may file a police complaint under Sections 341 and 447 of the IPC. Forming an association strengthens your legal standing and allows collective action, making it easier to enforce your rights. If you require assistance in drafting the required documents or initiating legal action, I can guide you further.

1. It is okay that you are new owners of the property and that the layout was formed by a panchayat approval. The layout will still have road access

2. Forming an association of Owners at this time may not be practical, but if you see a long term benefit, you can register one under the Societies act in Karnataka
 


3. Please ask for a consultation and further advise on the matter can be provided

To address the obstruction of your access road, forming a Resident Welfare Association (RWA) can provide a unified approach. Here's how you can proceed:

1. Forming the Association:

• Minimum Membership: At least seven members aged 18 or above are required to form an RWA.

• Documentation:

  • 
    Memorandum of Association (MoA): Details the association's name, objectives, and member information.
  • 
    Bylaws: Outline the rules governing the association's operations.
  • 
    Member Details: List of governing body members with their addresses, occupations, and signatures.
  • 
    Address Proof: Proof of the association's registered address (e.g., utility bill or rent agreement with NOC from the owner).

• Registration: Submit the above documents to the Registrar of Societies under the Karnataka Societies Registration Act, 1960.

2. Legal Actions Against Road Obstruction:

• Police Complaint: Report the obstruction to the local police, as blocking a public road is illegal.

• Civil Suit: If necessary, file a civil suit seeking an injunction to remove the obstruction and restore access.

• Easement Rights: If the road has been your primary access for an extended period, you may have established an easement right, strengthening your legal position.

3. Practical Steps:

• Gather Evidence: Collect documents proving the road's status as a public access route, such as layout plans, sale deeds, and any previous correspondence.

• Consult a Legal Expert: Engage a lawyer experienced in property disputes to guide you through the legal processes and represent your association's interests effectively.

By forming an RWA and taking appropriate legal actions, you can collectively safeguard your rights and ensure unobstructed access to your properties.
