Neighbor creating nuisance on public road what can I do

1.Is a lane(here in India-mumbai we call it a "gully") having same legal bindings as any public place ? 2. Please refer me to some books and sources to get more information about the topic? The reason I ask this is because I have a neighbour family which is very noisy especially around our entrance area in the lane and they treat the entire lane as their own private property and if we say to not treat it as a private property they say it's public and who are you to tell us what to do in the lane .Since we have said them many times they have turned a verbally abusive attitude towards us.
