nuisance created by clinic and medical shop in residential area


15-May-2023 (In Civil Law)
In front of my house, a doctor has opened a clinic and medical shop in their current house. The problem is visitors park their vehicles blocking entry to my house. Since there is a tree next to my house gate, few people come and sit/stand in front of my house gate. Which makes us uncomfortable to enter and exit. Also lot of vehicle sounds. We told the doctor to keep a watch man but he is least bothered about it. Can the clinic and medical shop be operated in residential area? Also, How can we proceed with this problem?

It may noted that concerning the running of the clinic itself, if it is registered under Karnataka private medical establishment Rules, 2009 and if the occupier is in compliance with all the terms of the licens and acting in accordance with the rules , little can be done to obstruct running of clinic itself ( this will depend on nature of clinic and nature of patients taken)

on the other hand, you do have a right to unobstructed pathway to enter and exit your home, and this can be remedied by an order of injunction .
You must firstly ascertain the nature of license, then get issued a legal notice.
