The Extra Judicial Remedies shall be referred to such remedies where the aggrieved party may

take such measures as to reverse the damages that have occurred against him without the
intervention of the court. Five kinds of extra-judicial remedies are practiced by the aggrieved
parties who have suffered any civil wrong which have been elaborated as follows:

Expulsion of the trespasser

A person who legally enjoys the possession of any property also possesses the right to use legal
force against any person or group who acts as a trespasser to the former’s possessed property.
But the two mandatory provisions that should exist in such a case are- firstly, the aggrieved party
should have the right to direct possession of the property related to that particular situation and
secondly, the aggrieved party should have used a reasonable amount of force to expel the
perpetrator of the act of trespass upon the property.

Re-entry on land

The next and very obvious stage that shall follow the expulsion of the trespasser from the
property is re-entering the property by the legal possessor only after the usage of reasonable
force to vacate his property of the trespasser.

Re-caption of goods

When a movable property is unlawfully in the possession of any person or group, the lawful
possessor or owner shall have the power to capture back that property from the former party. It is
to be noted that the re-caption here, does not require the court’s sanction but it still has to remain
within the lawful ambits i.e., no unlawful force should be used in the process of re-capturing any
property.

Abatement in cases of nuisance

In case any entity causes public nuisance or private nuisance, the aggrieved party has the right of
lawfully removing the entity causing nuisance. But it is to be kept in mind that the removal of the
object shall not result in damages to any other party related on unrelated to the incident.

Distress damage feasant


In a case where the cattle or animal which is in possession of any other party enters upon the
property of the aggrieved party, the latter shall have the right to take possession of that animal
upto the time the original possessor or the owner of the animal makes good the damages that is,
compensates for the damages caused by that animal to the property of the aggrieved party.
