I want to remove the public road constructed in my land

I want to remove the public road constructed in my land.

I want to remove the public road constructed in my land. In 2005, a government road was being constructed in our village, and at that time we contacted a contractor and had a road built between our fields, which was not used for any compensation for our coming and going, nor was the land registered with the government. It was repaired once when the village's government road was being repaired, and it is still located on our farm. Now we want to remove that road from our fields and doorstep, but some people in our village are objecting and even filing an F.I.R against us to stop the road. They also have their own private and public road, but even then we want to remove that road from our fields and doorstep. What can we do for this? Please tell us.

You gave your consent for the construction of the public road on your land and never objected to it. Therefore, you cannot now take action to remove the road from your land, especially as more than 17 years have passed since its construction. Moreover, the general public has also been using this road without any objection from you.
