The normal route is to give a letter to the BBMP and getting an endorsement on a copy of the same for your records. The BBMP will issue notices etc. to the other involved parties on the basis of your letter and also would inspect the premises and then move on to issue appropriate orders. If the BBMP fails to act on the letter, the courts can be approached for necessary relief.

I suggest you to file a complaint before the AEE(Assistant Executive Engineer) BBMP against the illegal construction. He is bound to take action as per KMC Act against the Land owner. Draft a formal complaint(along with picture photographs) and file the same before AEE.
