You have enough evidence to prove that your neighbour had dishonestly encroached your property. He had information about his land, but he deceitfully captured your barren land. In this situation you should lodge an FIR against him for the offence of criminal trespass, which is punishable under section 447 of the Indian Penal Code.

You should also file a complaint before the development authority for the demolition of illegal construction, which is constructed by your neighbour on your property. In the meantime if your neighbour is still planning to build something to avoid your interference then you can get injunction order from the civil court by filing a civil suit under order 39 of the CPC.
