Can I file a case against unauthorised construction


12-May-2023 (In Civil Law)
 A promoter has been constructing a "Multi-Storied" G+4 Building illegally beside my house and I had lodged many written complaints to the Municipality as well as the local police station , subsequently the said Municipality issued a "Stop Work Notice" against the said construction in 2016& the said municipality has found that the said construction is illegal & G+4 floor is also illegal which is without sanction . I have obtained this Stop Work Notice copy from the municipality but the said promoter is still continuing the construction but the said municipality is now telling me they can not stop this work thereafter , I have filed three additional written complaints to the District Magistrate , Sub-Divisional Officer as well as the Commissioner Of Police in this regard but till date , no action had been taken . I am the very closest resident to this building . Being a common person can I file any case or suit against the said promoter?
