How to protect roadside land from family redistribution threats?

We don’t have proper documents for our land. My father and elder uncle, both illiterate, were given most of the roadside land in a family partition 20 years ago by the other two uncles, as the road had no value back then. Now the road has developed, and the other two uncles are demanding redistribution. We have fenced and cultivated that land despite hardships, and now they are threatening us. How can we protect our share?

If the land was given 20 years ago and you’ve been using it, your long possession gives you a strong legal claim. You can file for a declaration of ownership and injunction in civil court. Also, gather any local panchayat records or witnesses who support your side. Stay calm and act legally. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
