What should I do if someone has illegally encroached on my land?

For instance, if someone has illegally encroached on your land, you must lodge your complaint with the local police and the municipal authorities. You can also send a legal notice to the encroacher. If such encroachment is not stopped, you may file a civil suit for eviction and possession in a court of law. You may also apply for a temporary injunction to prevent further encroachment until the case is decided.
