My neighbour is creating troubles in construction of my house by damaging raw materials and threatening to laborers. I am posted in another district therefore, unable to keep continuous observation and monitoring of my construction work. My caretaker is present there and all the construction work is carried out in his observation. He is unable to resist the illegal intervention of my neighbour. It is very strange situation for me. I am unable to understand his problem. The sale deed is clearly mentioned the exact boundaries and demarcation of my land. Please suggest what to do in this situation?

Asked from: Bihar

You should file a complaint to the concerned police station against your neighbour for criminal trespass. Your neighbour has no right to enter in your property and damage raw materials. This amounts to an offence of criminal trespass.

The police officer shall prepare a report and send it to the sub divisional magistrate for taking a bond from your neighbour under Section 145 of the code of criminal procedure. Magistrate has the power to take a bond from your neighbour to maintain peace and not enter in the property for a year.

This is a temporary and preventive measure. You should file a civil suit for the permanent injunction and restrict your neighbour from creating troubles in construction. This is the permanent solution, and your neighbour shall be permanently precluded from interfering in your property.
