Private owners cannot forcibly remove illegal occupants by themselves. They must file a civil suit for eviction in court. Self-help or demolition can lead to legal trouble. Always follow legal eviction procedures through courts or local authorities for unauthorized occupation. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
