How to stops neighbor's from trespassing ?

I own agricultural land unused for years near a developed society. Neighbours are dumping rubbish and marking a road on my land. When I blocked it by digging a ditch, they filled it using local police influence. They have access to another road, not through my property. Please advise how to stop them from building a road on my land.

Dear Client, This constitute trespass and encroachment. Please file a complaint. File a complaint under Section 329(1) BNS (criminal trespass) before the Superintendent of Police, bypassing influenced local police. Also, consider approaching the Civil Court for a permanent injunction, so they are restrained from trespass and road construction. Because the neighbors already have an alternative road access, it follows that no easementary right exists under Section 4 of the Easements Act, 1882. In the meantime, please get an official land demarcation carried out through the Tehsildar immediately. If you need any further clarification, feel free to reach out to us at Prime Legal.
