Persistent encroachment in the driving path by a neighbour.


03-Aug-2026 (In Criminal Law)
A neighbour in my apartment is deliberately encroaching my driving pathway. The builder has verbally told him to park his car and two wheelers in his own place many time but no use the request for ground marking by me was denied. Last year in October, 2025, I filled a complaint in the local police station, though the police intervened he changed position of cars only for some hours. I went to police station again, the OC did nothing . Now that neighbour threaten me that i have called police.

your neighbour's act of repeatedly blocking your driving pathway and threatening you may amount to criminal intimidation and nuisance. Preserve evidence by taking photographs/videos, noting dates, and obtaining statements from other residents if possible. Submit a written complaint to the Officer-in-Charge and send copies to the Superintendent of Police if no action is taken. If the obstruction continues, you may file a private complaint before the jurisdictional Magistrate under Section 223 BNSS seeking appropriate directions. If the apartment has a Residents' Welfare Association or builder's management, request written allocation of parking and enforcement of parking rules. If you have suffered continuous obstruction of your easement or access, appropriate civil remedies including injunction may also be considered. Please consult a local advocate with all documents for case-specific advic

make an application before the lower court for seeking permanent injunction to restrain the neighbour to park his vehicle at your parking lot or else if you want to go for a criminal remedy , either lodge a complaint case and if the concerned Police station is not taking any action, file a complaint case through civil court under section 233 of BNSS which is complaint to a magistrate
