Illegal encroachment on your property — whether by a neighbour, a developer, or a government authority — can be stopped with urgent court action. Injunctions, possession suits, and criminal FIRs are all available remedies.
Different types of encroachment require different legal strategies. Understanding yours is the first step.
Boundary wall extension, illegal construction over your plot, or occupation of common passage. Civil injunction and FIR under BNS criminal trespass provisions are both available.
Developers encroaching on plot boundaries, common areas, or building beyond sanctioned plans. Requires both civil and regulatory (LDA/LMCB) action to stop.
LDA, LMCB, or other authorities encroaching on private land without notice or compensation. A writ petition at Allahabad HC is the most effective remedy.
Multiple legal tools are available — and in urgent cases, they can be pursued simultaneously for maximum effect.
Filed before the Lucknow Civil Court — stops the encroacher from continuing construction or further occupation. Can be obtained ex-parte (without the other side being heard) in genuine emergencies within 24–48 hours.
A full civil suit to recover physical possession of your property. The court can ultimately order the encroacher out and award you possession. Can be combined with the injunction application in a single plaint.
Where encroachment is forcible or involves destruction of property, an FIR can be filed for criminal trespass. Police involvement creates accountability and can itself deter further encroachment.
If the encroacher is LDA, LMCB, or another government body acting without due process, a writ petition at the Allahabad HC Lucknow Bench is the fastest and most powerful remedy — interim orders are obtained quickly.

Common questions about property encroachment cases in UP
Yes. An urgent temporary injunction application (Order XXXIX CPC) can be filed before the Civil Court in Lucknow. If you demonstrate that irreparable harm will result from delay — such as construction being raised over your land — courts can grant an ex-parte temporary injunction within 24–48 hours of filing, without even hearing the other side initially.
An injunction restrains the encroacher from doing something — it stops construction, prevents further encroachment, or preserves the status quo. A possession suit (suit for recovery of possession) actively seeks the court to order the encroacher out and restore you to physical possession. Both can be filed simultaneously and are often combined in a single plaint.
Yes, in many cases. If the encroachment involves forcible possession, criminal trespass, or destruction of your property, you can file an FIR under relevant sections of the BNS (formerly IPC). Criminal proceedings run parallel to civil proceedings — an FIR creates immediate police accountability while the civil court handles the long-term possession remedy.
If the encroachment is by a government authority without due process, you can challenge it at the Allahabad HC Lucknow Bench through a writ petition. Courts are very willing to protect private property rights from unlawful government acquisition — especially where no compensation has been offered or due process followed.
A temporary injunction can be obtained within days. The main civil suit (final possession order) can take 2–5 years at the trial court level, though some cases resolve through settlement or summary proceedings earlier. At the High Court level, writ petitions challenging illegal encroachment by authorities can obtain interim relief within weeks.
An urgent injunction can stop encroachment within 24–48 hours of filing. The longer you wait, the harder it becomes to reverse construction. Call now for an immediate assessment.
