Since you are located in Bangalore co tact local lawyer
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.
