Hi there, firstly you'll have to check the legal papers of the property in order to mark the exact boundaries. At first you should send a legal notice and if that doesn't work you can approach the court. It's advisable to contact me and provide more details to assist you better.

If the vehicles are parked on a public road, you cannot remove them yourself. However, if they are blocking the showroom entrance, gate access, or causing obstruction to business, you can seek action from the Traffic Police/Municipal Authorities and, if required, pursue legal remedies for removal of the obstruction.

If the vehicles are being parked on a public road and are obstructing the entrance/exit of your showroom, you may lodge a written complaint with the local Traffic Police and Municipal Authorities seeking removal of the unauthorized parking. Preserve photographic and video evidence showing the obstruction. If the issue persists despite complaints, you may initiate civil proceedings seeking an injunction restraining such interference with your right of access to the commercial premises. However, you should not remove or damage the vehicles yourself, as that may expose you to legal liability.

the vehicles are being parked in such a manner that they obstruct the entrance/exit of your showroom, block customer access, or create an obstruction on a public road, you may take legal action. First, politely request the residents not to park in front of the showroom gates. If the issue persists, submit a written complaint to the local Traffic Police and Municipal Authorities, enclosing photographs and videos showing the obstruction. If the parking is on a public road, no individual has an exclusive right over the space; however, no one can park in a manner that blocks access to a lawful commercial establishment or its gates. In cases of repeated obstruction, you may seek intervention from the police for removal of the vehicles and maintain records of all complaints. If the obstruction is continuous and causes business loss, you may also consider issuing a legal notice and, if necessary, filing a civil suit seeking an injunction against such obstruction. The exact remedy may depend on whether the area in front of the showroom is public land, private property, or part of a common parking area.

Merely because you are paying commercial taxes, property taxes, or operating a business from the ground floor does not automatically give you exclusive rights over the public road or common parking area situated in front of the building. However, if the residents are parking their vehicles in a manner that blocks the entrance to your showroom, obstructs customer access, covers your display frontage, or prevents ingress and egress through Gate No. 1 and Gate No. 2, you are entitled to seek legal remedies against such obstruction. As a first step, you should document the problem by taking dated photographs, CCTV footage, and videos showing the vehicles parked in front of the showroom and the resulting obstruction. If the vehicles are parked on a public road or in violation of traffic regulations, you may lodge a complaint with the local Traffic Police and Municipal Authorities requesting removal of unauthorized parking and enforcement of parking regulations. If the obstruction is recurring, you may submit a written representation to the local police station seeking preventive action on the ground that the parking is causing obstruction to your business and restricting access to the premises. Where the obstruction is deliberate and continuous, you may also consider issuing a legal notice to the concerned persons calling upon them to refrain from blocking the entrances and frontage of the showroom. You should not remove, tow, damage, or interfere with the vehicles yourself, as that may expose you to legal liability. Removal should only be carried out through the competent authorities such as the Traffic Police or Municipal Corporation. If the issue continues despite complaints, you may approach the civil court seeking an injunction restraining the residents from parking their vehicles in a manner that obstructs access to your showroom and interferes with your lawful business activities. The photographs, CCTV recordings, customer complaints, and previous representations to authorities will be important evidence in such proceedings. Therefore, your immediate course of action should be to create a proper record of the obstruction, lodge complaints with the Traffic Police and local authorities, and, if necessary, seek injunctive relief through the civil court rather than taking any self-help measures against the parked vehicles.
