Dnt wry you have to contest the case. Nd give the evidences of the expenses you have incurred. Hire an advocate to contest the filed case. Once you have paid the expenses you need to pay again and again

Dear Client, you dont have much option other than contesting the case on the basis of facts and evidence. You can file a cross suit or counter claim seeking damages and recovery from your neighbour for all the loss that has occured to you. This will put pressure on him to settle the matter or withdraw altogether.
Please feel free to call and discuss the matter for detailed advice.
