To address the illegal occupation of your ancestral land, start by documenting all ownership records, tax receipts, and photos of the encroachment. Report the occupier’s threat of self-harm to the local police to ensure your safety and create a record of the situation. Consult a lawyer to send a legal notice demanding the removal of the encroachment. If the occupier does not comply, consider filing a civil suit for eviction and recovery of possession.

You can file a civil suit under Section 6 of the Specific Relief Act, 1963, to reclaim possession within six months.
