Is Calling Police an Option?

Yes, calling a police if your neighbor harasses you is an option to go with. You have the option to call the police by just dialing the police number 100 and police will come to the place mentioned by you in the phone call. They will come to the spot and ask you the problem and then will take the action against them. And, when they will reach the spot you should be having sufficient proof to prove the harassment by neighbors.

  • Harassment Through Nuisance

You may be living in an apartment or in a duplex, often it happens, when you hear loud music sound from the neighbor’s house, you try to ignore that sound for as long as possible but sometimes, such noise may make life difficult. This type of nuisance is defined in Section 268 of the Indian Penal Act.

Section 268 of the Indian Penal Code defines nuisance when the person is guilty of a public nuisance when he does any act which causes injury, danger or annoyance to the public or the people in general who live or occupy the property in the neighborhood.

A common nuisance is not excused on the ground that it causes some convenience or advantage.

If this type of harassment is faced by you from your neighbor then, you can file an application under Section 268 of IPC in the court of magistrate.

Punishment of nuisance is defined in Section 290 of IPC, which is mere Rs. 200 but the court can do much more.

As a matter of fact, calling 100 is most effective as, after a visit or two from the police, such nuisance is likely to stop. In extreme cases, police may even confiscate the instruments that are used to cause nuisance like – loudspeakers or sound boxes, or drones, cameras or such other tools.

Sometimes, police does not intervene despite laws being there as they do not like extra work on their plate or because the other party is very influential. In such cases, you may need to take help of legal experts. We recommend you get in touch with ClikLawyer.com.

  • Harassment Through Mischief

When you live in a duplex, you are sharing a common wall. If your neighbor starts construction in that common wall you do not have the right to stop him from constructing because it is his legal right but if during the construction work your property gets damaged, you can ask him to compensate for the loss suffered by you but if your neighbor refuses to pay you the amount then you can file a case under 

  1. Section 425 of IPC which states that whoever with intent to cause, or knowing that he is likely to cause, wrongful loss or damage to the public or to any person, causes the destruction of any property, or any such change in any property or in the situation thereof as destroys or diminishes its value or utility, or affects it injuriously, commits mischief.
  2. You can file suit for declaration and mandatory injunction in a civil court as well.
  3. You can claim damages in the same suit.
  • Harassment Through Trespass

If you live in an apartment and park your vehicle in the parking allotted to you but you notice someday that the place which has been allotted to you is been occupied by some other person then, you will simply ask the person to vacate the parking space occupied by him but if he/she refuses to do that, after being told or warned many times, will amount to criminal trespass.

441 of IPC defines Criminal Trespass.

Criminal Trespass

Whoever enters into or upon property in the possession of another with intent to commit an offence or to intimidate, insult or annoy any person in possession of such property, or having lawfully entered into or upon such property, unlawfully remains there with intent thereby to intimidate, insult or annoy any such person, or with intent to commit an offence, is said to commit “Criminal Trespass”.

If this type of harassment is faced by you from your neighbors, you can file an application under Section 441 of IPC in the court of magistrate. And the punishment of criminal trespass has been defined in Section 447 of IPC in which three months imprisonment is mentioned or fine of  500 rupees or with both.

  • Sexual Harassment

There have been a number of cases registered with the police in which the neighbor who was trusted the most and was never expected to commit anything of that kind, committed sexual harassment of various natures such as-

  • Passing lewd comments
  • Staring
  • Intimidation
  • Trespass for causing sexual harassment
  • Even insertion of cameras for the recording of activities in a neighborhood house

If this type of harassment is faced by you from your neighbor, you can file a complaint with the local police. The best way to do this is to call 100 and narrate the problem you are facing. It is important to collect and preserve evidence and then giving the same to the police.

  6. We are a senior citizen family and their middle aged daughter living in Gokul Gully, Mulund West, Mumbai. Our Marathi neighbor reacts by harassing us either by pulling the furniture or making noise late at night while we are asleep even if he hears laughs or conversations or the silliest of things like the television playing during the day. This has caused domestic violence and more on our house. This fellow upstairs reacts violently. His wife once passed by our house while going down the stairwell and she made a condescending remark on my evening Mahalaxmi arati that I was doing inside my house in Marathi, thinking that I will not understand it by saying, “He loka kay karat baslyat” (meaning what are these people busy doing) and she laughed loudly with her women’s group. Moreover, when their daughter was around before her marriage, they used to provoke her and her screams could be heard from our bathroom window.

    The audacity of this fellow upstairs, he brands us as crazy and goes about gossiping about my family and me, thus slandering our reputation and even lies to us that the noises must either be heard in our mind or that they must be coming from my next door neighbor’s house though he knows pretty well that they have not returned to India for years.

    When my senior citizen father went to his house to request him to stop treadmilling so loudly, he back answered my father by saying that Modiji asked everyone to exercise. Then, my father said that Modiji asked people to exercise and not to be a nuisance to others during the lockdown and this transpired last year. He also made a condescending cultural comment on how the “Madrasi uncle living in the building behind ours was talking loudly on the phone.” Firstly, he attacks other cultures and on top of it, he tells us about someone absolutely unconcerned with any of us. This is not appropriate behavior for a person, whose son, he claims works for a private bank. I am shocked. He even threatened my senior citizen father indirectly to continue the noise if we tell the secretary and chairman of our building. I have sent the police several audio evidences since the past 2 years but only because of the low volume of my recording device like anyone else’s, the volume was not loud enough but now, I have downloaded a software to amplify the volume and this one that is at 15.5 decibels. Here it is that have records his loud late night activities today at 22.13 pm IST – https://sndup.net/4zcj. Just because my audio evidences were not loud enough earlier, this fellow upstairs takes advantage of the same and dubs me as being crazy and more. He has had a public record of being a firebrand but goes about troubling everyone else.

    The day before yesterday, he went on treadmilling till 2 am IST. Please suggest a solution to this problem.

  7. Lawangare, from our building – Flats A7 and A8, New Giri Vihar CHS, Gokul Gully, Opposite NES International School, Nimbkar Society and Pratiksha building (home to MLA Vijay Joshi), Mulund West, Mumbai 400082, Maharashtra, India also reacts by harassing us either by pulling the furniture or making noise late at night while we are asleep even if he hears laughs or conversations or the silliest of things like the television playing. He reacts violently. His wife once passed by our house while going down the stairwell and she made a condescending remark on my evening Mahalaxmi arati that I was doing inside my house in Marathi, thinking that I will not understand it by saying, “He loka kay karat baslyat” (meaning what are these people busy doing) and she laughed loudly with her women’s group. That irritated me because I never make fun of anyone else’s cultural practices. Since that day they have been harassing us. In fact, this family once got attacked by a gang that came to their house with arms and ammunitions, broke open their door frame at 4.30 am IST in the morning, and neither did anyone come to help them nor did anyone else get attacked unlike this fellow, proving what kind of a provocative individual he is.

    We have constructed our house 6yrs back, and we have water tank which we constructed, now since most of us here have commonwalls, one of the support is taken for that water tank from common wall. This lady did construction work thrice, but every time during the rains the water gets in. Now she is of the opinion that since our water tank is kept on common wall, for which she was blind for 6yrs feels because of this tank she is not getting place for keeping the shade. Now she is torturing and abusing daily and asking us to move the water tank from common wall, which would be risky for us, specially during the rainy season. Please suggest, she even went to local municipal Corporation. What action should we take.

  16. Hii The problem is related to neighbour dispute. Actually Here some neighbours are harrasing us due to their own road related problem. They are blaming us that we have blocked the road. But actually They made their houses exact to road level due to this rainy water comes to their home. And We made our house 2 ft up from road level as everyone do. Also, They dig 1 ft deep road from their house level to overcome from drainage rainy water problem. But due to this they made road too rough. Where should I complaint about this?

  17. I just wanted to enquire if you support women’s who are facing harassment by their neighbours.
    My mom is a single parent and 2 of our neighbours always picks up a fight and keeps tellng us that only you 3 females are there at home right see what i will do. They talk ill about my mother and us (me and my sister). My neighbour being a mother of 3 sons passed vulgar comments when my mom or sis is passing by.
    I read that we can reach out to police through an NGO for a warning for them.

    Please let me know if you support such cases or do you have any contact of women associations

  21. I tried to complaint to local police station(Jadavpur ps,Kolkata-700032)but police are completely corrupted instead of taking action they take only cash sometimes also alcohol.
    I am live in Baghajatin J block Daspara.
    Area is completely corrupted.
    Most of the time local boys are getting drunk infront of my house,also abuse me.Sometimes threatening me to Rape.
    Is it a culture of India?
    Police are worthless i have doubts on their degree as well as their upbringing.
    Jadavpur ps is the 3rd class ps.
    Staff are really worst.
    Is there anyone who can solve this matter,and also make them understand what actually they are doing being a police.
    In this covid situation I have complained about their illness sound pollution but they didn’t take any action.
    My parents are suffering covid.I am really shocked and disappointed to see after this result out of election tmc paid huge amount so that some people can make their enjoyment to the fullest.What a decision to make covid free nation by paying illegal money to the club authorities also provide alcohol boxes.

I have completed my MBA im in a good job I have purchased a flat in same apartment .which the flat’s owner could not digest that harassing my family members and calling us a watch man still insulting us feeling very bad .
    In their point an watch-man should not become an owner causing trouble day by day

  27. My downstairs neighbor has problems with us walking. We just walk normally and we don’t even have kids. How can we stop doing that? Is it our fault that they can hear us walk. And I swear we walk like normal people in fact with lesser noise. They call and come to our house at odd hours. What can we do about it.

    She is having son and daughter but she don’t stay with them due to bad habits and always give me threatened for murder.

    She not fight us only even with lot of people but no one giver her reply because her sound is very loud and used very bed language.

    She every times shows that I’m alone old lady and other people disturb her but truth is that her mental health is not good I think, we are educated people and can’t us abusing and cheap language like her . My family is in tension due to her harassment and can’t understand what should to do.

  37. Hello there,
    I don’t want to file a complaint. I just need suggestions to deal with this situations. I live in village in a joint family but the property is separated so our houses are adjoined to each other. We have problem with one of our relative. They always create nuisance for small small things. They just wanna fight for no reason. They even create scenes by shouting, using abusive languages. The family is so bad and so smart. They have one boy who will always abuse and will be ready to kill anyone. He harasses everybody with his bad language. And when we complaint about him to his family they will be like “he never does that. We didn’t saw him doing that”. Even if people give evident if it then they start shouting for different things happened in past which was also caused by them. They steal things from peoples property. It happens every often. No other member of that family says anything. They put that boy in front for abusing people and when the fight get worse they support him from back.
    My dad got his eye surgery this month. They burn woods or whatever to create smoke and also they blow the smoke intentionally to the direction of my house. We have requested them to not to do so. But they laughed and continued doing it..
    Please help. It has become a daily habit of them. The boy can even harm my family.

  38. I am a Sr.citizen living with my daughter who is a govt employee. We live in govt accommodation but for the past 2.5 years, we are staying beside a neighbour whose activities are suspicious. We did not pay too much attention to him in the beginning, even though right after his arrival, I fell very very sick and became extremely weak for more than 3 months making things extremely difficult for my daughter who us single and had to manage everything almost singlehandedly. The doc could not pinpoint any particular reason apart from the weakness but the reason became clear around 6 months ago when strange smells emanated from his house and covered up the entire place including the interiors of the house. Later CCTV had to be installed to see what was going on and very frequently we found gas bubble like structures floating in the air which cannot be detected with naked eyes. It is also strange that they do not come out if their houses nor enter our house but at first, there is a sound of a heavy equipment being operated from inside their house and then to xic smell of gases fill up the entire space which visitors have also been able to snuff. This is making me weaker everyday and my lungs feel suffocated and weak. It is strange that whenever meals are being cooked or served, the gas ball like substances are released and the food starts tasting bitter as s result of such emission. This does make clear that he is somehow able to see the interiors of the house. The dose of gases became so heavy on the night of Diwali that my daughter complained loudly as to why a sr. Citizen like me was being subjected yo such harassment. The man who claims that he is a govt officer came our and clenched his fist at my daughter , shouted by pointing at her and CCTV footage that he is threatening my daughter can also be seen. Within a day, my daughter went to.police station and complained against him and the other members who had also threatened my daughter . Upon the arrival of police, the man started his own drama by saying that on that particular night when he got agitated, my daughter was shouting out loud omitting the fact that he was using gaseous toxin like severely smelling objects and was physically damaging our health. He also seems to be in possession of lots of other heavy equipments which make loud noises all through the night and also seems to be possessing Sonic weapons through which radiation is emitted causing discomfort to out health, especially our ears. He is definitely into some suspicious activity as can be noted from his action and the cops have asked us to Lodge a complaint to relevant govt authorities and submit s copy to them for them to follow up. But this seems like long drawn process. The credentials of the man also seem to be fake as he claims to be govt officer but on inquiring, his actual designation it his identity cannot be confirmed which almost makes him and the other occupants criminAl trespasses but I may need some time to prove this. What can be done to stop such dangerous emission at the earliest and bring him to book?

  39. We are well educated family belongs to a village. Always everyday my neighbour speaks abuse words from his/her home which bad words is that we have to listen to our families every day or even if we dont want to. I want to know what is the law or section for oppose the neighbour.

  41. I stay in first floor. My ground floor neighbour installed dish antenna right outside my balcony on first floor. Without asking or informing. My concern is that my kid keeps going to balcony. And the view became spoilt. Dish antenna right at your balcony attracts lightening…

    What do you recommend?

    I stay in Gated community in Bangalore, so called posh and well educated Residents, However since last 4 months, I am facing severe disturbance from my upper Flat from morning 8 am and goes sometimes 12.30 am. Here in our Society there is Bye Laws and as per Bye Laws, 2 pm to 4 pm (Sleeping Time) and from 11 pm to 6 am should not be such type of Noises.
    Many times request my neighbor via SMS, Phone call, What’s app, face to face discussion once, but in place of reducing the Noise, it has been increased.
    Even I complaint to our committee member but no result. The Types of Noises are as under: –
    a. Shifting Furniture many times.
    b. Jumping on the Floor
    c. dropping heavy objects on the floor
    d. ETC.

    I am ok if they do out side of sleeping hours, but they do purposefully in sleeping hours.

    Please suggest, how to resolve this issue.

In those 2 are part of society, with their influence they told security to allow street dog to sleep in the common area.

If anyone told them because of this smoke our kids are suffering please stop this, they says you want us to suffer with mosquitoes, close your windows from 7 to 12 PM. One day a lady taken the video of that wood burning, photo of the street dog and kept in the society’s what’s app group and complained on them. 6 people also supported her in the what’s app group. On the next day they are shouting and said you people insulted us by keeping the videos and photo in group so say sorry infront of all the members. We won’t stop doing this do whatever you can do.

  50. Hello everyone. I am writing this post as a part a social circle and if anyone can provide some guidance / help .
    It is regarding the Outhouse in my opposite bldg which is a 2 storey building and bang opposite our building and facing my house. Since yesterday evening they had 5 to 6 very powerful flash yellow and white lights which were so powerful that my whole house got illuminated and faced extreme light, so much so that none of us could sleep at night. We have elders aswell and they can face extreme trauma because of sleepless nights. According to my understanding they will switch on this lights every night and it will be hell for me and my family. Can any of you tell me about where and how can i complain about it. If anyone else is also facing similar problem we can join hands to fight for the cause..
    Your help and guidance is much appreciated . Thanks. Lomesh. 9820277776.

  51. Due to lockdown , coz my neighbour was not ready to home quarantine themselves, we asked our cook not to work for 15 days coz we shared the same cook. Due to safety measure, my cook did not go to work in their house either. This annoyed my neighbour n they fired the cook n stopped talking to us. Now their 12 year old kid has started spreading rumours and influencing other kids not to play with my 11 year old son. My son is facing isolation n mental harrassment. When requested other kids parents, they did not wish to intervene as their kids are already influenced by our neighbours kid. Pls suggest

They have habit of sleeping late night eating food late night and due to sleeping late night there children’s also sleep late night. Our house is just 200 sqft out of which after house goes for kitchen and wash room and the remains half is used for watching TV, studied of two children, sleeping and other personal office work. Due there bad habits we are facing lot of problem like making lot of noise outside passage by playing in uncultured way, most important playing till late night , due to which we get disturbed in sleeping, there house door and our door is 24inches away. They talk loudly which can be heard in our house, being maharastrian they eat lot of fish which they start frying at 11.45pm or so. Due to which lot of smell goes till she finishes frying. Few days back their home senior members started playing carrom board at 11.45 pm which creating noise and was disturbing us in our sleep. After lot of patience finally we decided that we should inform the police and get this problem cleared. We reached police station and police chief said I will send two constables and will try to explain them but it was simple talk given by cops and they went away. But now they are disturbing to n different manner by making sound of TV with high volume beaching about us with other neighbors and trying to instigate us. Please inform how and what way we can solve this issue.

    • Try sending them a legal notice and if they again continues then file a formal complaint with the police. If does not work then approaching the court seems to be the only viable option.

    • Same here brother, I live in New Delhi I am having this similar type of issue with my neighbour who are tenants they starts cooking around 11:45 and they talk loudly, laughing, singing in ugly voices. I have told them politely not to do this but they are still making these noises. Once they were drinking in their home around 2:30 AM talking and laughing aloud. This night they starting making noise around 11:30 and continued till around 1:30.
      I can’t sleep because of them. Its enoung, now I am going to call police today.

    • Dear Rajesh. You can only file complaint against their unlawful behavior or public nuisance not of any of their eating habits or eating practices. Mentioning about they being Maharashtrian; you are also pointing out a racial discrimination. Just imagine how would you feel if someone mentions you as Northwestern guy encroached in a Maharashtiran locality and then claiming Maharashtrian eating habits as a nuisance. Give it a brotherly thought and cope up with some effection.

  78. We are a family of husband, wife and a school going son.

    There is a neighbour (a woman) who has left her husband’s house and resides with her brother and seems very unhappy with her life so she’s after us constantly psyching us. She gets the courage to do this as her brother is a supposed goon. She has been doing this for more than 2 years now. They get idliwalas, bhangarwalas to make noise outside my house and after that support them to go ahead and continue. Then he stands and mocks at us.

    Recently on 13th Jan 2020, she even went to the extent interfering in our family feud by siding with my brother a US citizen for by making him sit in her house early morning and then they corner me when I was taking my son for his exam. I have a CCTV clipping in support of this. Earlier on 06th January 2020 she tipped my brother who came to have aface-off with me. All this is on CCTV.

    As the brother-sister duo are making our lives miserable, please advise what we need to do.

  79. Dear sir/mam
    I am a 27 yrs old female doctor. Me and my mom live in a 4 storey house where we own 1 floor. The ground floor is for parking. Our neighbours have been creating nuisance by always nitpicking whenever we go out of the house and makes such a situation that we have to fight. They have an elder mother who always keeps on nitpicking and their sons intentionally let their mother go forward for creating trouble. We have a common entrance with parking gate. Now to create trouble they have given the keys to someone on the basis that they are allowing someone to park in their space. As me and my mother live alone , we want safety so requested that they dont give the keys to someone else and we dont have any problem with them letting their parking to someone else but they refused. That guy even comes to park even at 11-12 at night and i dont feel safe. When we asked that guy to give us the keys they said that this is my house and i am like the neighbours son with full atitude. Our neighbours now are abusing us by saying that whenever some family comes to see me for arranged marriage they will interfere and say that i am a nuisance and create a chaos in your house if you take the rishta and started abusing us with galis. I know they have the right to give keys to anyone but thats the shared gate and we want safety with us 2 women living alone. Can any legal procedure be taken in this case?

    We have been living on rent in this “posh” society in Kolkata. And we have faced continuous harrassment from the so called “respected senior citizen group” who are flat owners.Their own kids our age I sure would have given “appropriately answered” them back for their harrassing abusive behavior .Why do these people think that living on rent means we have to take this harassment and not react.Specifically Kolkata had the worst bullying senior citizens and owning a house has made it worse. WHY harass the neighbors.WHY FORCE US TO RELOCATE OR KEEP OUR KIDS LOCKED UP????

  83. How can I get legal help against black magic done by the neighbours who are obsessed with buying my flat. They have been doing spells on my flat for 1.5 years and are now doing black magic on my food brought in by Swiggy delivery.
    The woman Aarthi SS works in Infosys and has been obsessed with my flat since she moved into the adjacent flat in 2017. She and her family repeatedly asked my Mum and me to sell the flat to them despite our outright refusals. I had reported her to the police last year in December when I saw her black magic stuff in our postbox. She, her husband Balasubramanian and daughter ran away like rats at the mention of police and slunked back after the police had left. Her old parents Subramanian and Kanthimathi too are actively involved in black magic. I have a good mind to report them to the district collector and city police chief with a copy to her HR department in Infosys, but not sure how something like black magic can be proved, despite all the packets of ash and chilles and lemons and sigils and spell water they have been leaving outside the flat and in the postbox and my car. I would appreciate any legal advise.

  89. Hello sir/mam,
    My parents stay in Coimbatore(Tamil Nadu). Over the past four to five years, there has been harrasment towards my mom by the neighbours as she mostly keeps to herself. Last one year it has gone to peaks as two of my neighbours started bad mouthing about my mom to other neighbours. They started banging their doors, making huge sounds whenever they see my mom. This is not just one or two neighbours. People from 6-7 different houses are doing this. She is very much frustrated and I’m not sure what to do as it is very difficult to gather evidence against them. Any kind of help would be great! Thanks

And when complaint about the same he has only one reply ki yeh area humaare makaan maalik ka hai or ya yeh road tumhari nhi hai so yaha pe kuch bhi Kar sakte hai hum.
    We have asked them like at least ten times but still no action has been taken. Also Everytime the request turns into a fight.
    Can I legally take any action against them.

  95. My neighborhood constantly harassment my family using common wall, they creates noise through common wall, throwing heavy materials on common wall, breaks our sleep due to their rude nature they cant hear, what we can take legal actions on them, how we stop them?

  96. Dear victims of all parts of India.
    Please read this true happening it’s fact not fiction.
    2010 we purchased 4bighas of land at Barasat Baikantapur. 2nd plot from highway.
    Harassment comes in different shapes and sizes according to the financial involvement.
    This property was purchased after checking the dimensions.
    The saler called all parties and told them to leave the land they were cultivating and had incoached on, they all agreed in our presence. The demarcation was put down.
    These demarcation were moved by night causing us to do another survay
    After five survays.
    We came to the conclusion that this same saler along with some land syndicate police grampanchyate and other anti-social from neighbouring plots had grouped together to make us leave our property.
    Harassment and stress is different DISTRESS causes DEATH.
    We have the porch and land deeds pay both taxes land and grampanchyate tax with plot nos registered in electronic media.
    These people are politically motivated and connected.
    They have intimidated trespassed and incoached on our privacy in more ways than one.
    Our trees are being destroyed the goats on our farm poisoned the vegetation destroyed and sprayed with chemicals.
    We have 47 gauva trees fruit bearing 2oo banana trees. 12 coconut trees they have killed. They pretend to chase thieves at night when there are the thieves who come in brazenly to steal our produce.
    We have caught the several times in side our cultivation after having a boundary wall.
    All our fruit trees and fruit is damaged
    Jackfruit are dug and mercury on plastic rope is pushed inside with the very intention to kill.
    We can’t eat anything from our cultivation thereby they can have it all.
    They are an endangerment to LIFE.
    I have floated a group Anglo Indian world property owners which they have compromised.
    I have kept video records from 2010 till date. 350 papaya all flattened to the ground. This year one cutting all my trees including 40 odd plum trees.
    To crown all this we have an illegal cement godown switching labels of cement and adding mud to the content.
    These cement bags find their way into GOVT projects and endangers life. Then what is the value of our life to them. The sides of our HIGHWAY is dug out now they have started with our land the 100 day Labour is used and alcohol is given as an incentive with a sumptuous dinner for each Labour while the taxpayers money goes to these criminals.
    My wife Beverly and self are under treatment.
    She has acquired glocoma and I have deprived liver disorder. While they are breaking my boundary to make and sell houses to increase income for the party club police touts and neighbours who are all relatives of the same group who are actively involved in politics and have family in our Amdanga thana.
    The club and grampanchyate means the political party has incoached and taken possession of our pump shelter. They have put a ceiling and stolen filling from the back of my godown to raise up the insides of the shelter. They are trying to present it as a domestic house with their gov’t contracts. B.D.O. B.LL.R.O.
    THEY HAVE CONTACTS IN THE COURT THE LEGAL SYSTEM…THIS IS INDIA TODAY.

  97. My parents live in an apartment in Trichy. A neighbor in the top floor just below terrace, inspite of having 2 bathrooms in their house, their family members use the terrace’s common tap for tooth brushing, washing clothes, taking bath. Both the male & female, take bath in half dressed manner, which is disgusting & uncomfortable for others to enter terrace. What is the legal way to stop tis?

    Also we already complained to them this is wrong. But they are not ready to admit/correct themselves. Instead got angry that we are asking against them, & a guy in that family threatens my dad that he ll hook my dad to police in any sensitive case. So what can be done to legal protective measures?

On pointing out the mischief, he rudely behaves telling that “Rasta Tumhare Bap Ka Nahi Hai”. Once he jumped into my building Terrace from his terrace and broke my Dish TV Camera. On asking to him, he defended himself, I have not done any damages. My wife used to clean courtyard of my building everyday in the morning. Sameway his wife also cleans his courtyard. However, he stops my wife cleaning the courtyard because it makes him uncomfortable but not his wife. There is a common wall between two buildings of us. He has broken portion of his side wall making the room more spacious. While painting inside my home, he stopped me saying that his side wall is getting damage, when there was no damage on my side. He used to gather some notorious children in front of my home and creates nuisance of multiple voices. On asking, he rudely behaves saying that they are the sons of God and it is sin to stop them. He so many times presurised me to invest in a chit fund of his scheme. On denying, he abuses me that I have no good relations with my neighbours.

  119. I am writing to respectfully bring to your attention that the Managing Committee of an unregistered housing association, are reluctant to register the complex with the Registrar of Coop Housing Societies for various reasons, some of which are as follows:
    1. There are a total of 45 flats and half of them are unoccupied.
    2. Most of the members are absentee landlords who invested in the flats and left them closed for many years. They do not reside in Goa and do not attend any meetings. They support the managing committee and do not object to any inappropriate practices existing in the housing complex.
    3. Some members own commercial units in the complex but do not pay maintenance for the same.
    4. Some members own more than one flat.
    5. Some member’s claim that the builder “gave them” covered parking and they have resorted to enclosing the parking area for themselves – without it appears proper licenses.
    6. There is one member who has been a permanent committee member since the apartments were built and continues to dominate every meeting.
    7. It appears that the same members of the Managing Committee continue to select among themselves to be voted every year.
    8. The meetings are attended by less than the two third of the members and matters continue to be actioned by them without due process.
    9. The legal status of the Association is not disclosed and bank information is withheld.

    When the committee was asked why they are reluctant to register as a society, I was informed that the registration process is cumbersome and expensive. Please let me know whether this is true and kindly let me know the detailed process and documents that are required for registration.

    In view of the above, may I request you Sir, to please let me know what recourse to the members have to enforce registration as a Cooperative Housing Society and/or other laws of Goa on the above Association to function as a legal entity with proper status and legitimacy as well as Articles of Association and Memorandum of Association.

    Thank you kindly.

  125. Omaha Nebraska… My neighbor Sherri Walton is harassing us, stalking us, annoying us, & just a giant pain in the you now what. It started with her son shooting illegal bottle rockets at our house, our dogs and us every year. They did fireworks way past the times and dates legal to light them and would shoot them at our trees and house even. Everything I do she watches, stares or copies me. She has these out of control parties that keep my family up until 5 am with people screaming bloody murder in middle of street all hours and loud music. I have had to call the police. Every time police show up at her house or Humane Society because she abuses her dog, she blames me for it now. Every time I go outside she has to pop up & harass me, scream at me, stare at me, or make me feel unsafe in my own yard. She is about 5 times larger than I am so yes she is intimidating.
    Her son does drugs on her front porch & they may even be selling drugs as much traffic as she has at her house kind of like quick shop . They throw trash, beer cans all over my yard. Honk horns all hours of the night. She also lets her dog poop all over , even in middle of road & don’t clean it up. She went around & told all the other neighbors I called them a racial names when I never did that. I have only said one thing to Sherri and that was to leave me alone and that was last year. I took out a protection order & it was granted & she continued to do the same things, then took out one on me with false claims. I have evidence of the false statements she made. Judge told her she is childish and dropped the order, then she followed out of the court house screaming threats at us and has harassed me every day.
    I have a police paper that says I can go take out a warrant on her & will do that next. She talks/screams so loud I walked down the street to see how far away I could hear her & it’s 2 blocks over I can hear her. Other neighbors don’t like the stuff she does or noise she makes but they are afraid of her & don’t want her to do what she has done to me so they go along with it. Some call police on her but she blames me for that too. She goes to every neighbor she can trying to make up lies & get them mad at us. She obviously has a problem with drugs and alcohol. I think she is crazy too and other people do too.
    She tried to say I’m obsessed with her son who has boobs larger than mine. I think they are obsessed with us. I even put stuff on my porch to try and block them off & we stay in back yard away from her but still can hear her. We had to install security cameras and I have to film myself every time I go outside. I have spoke with Habitat about her as she lives in a habitat house but they refuse to do anything even with the warrant paper from police to take out warrant on her and all the evidence. She even lied in court and said habitat told her personal information about me, which I have on tape that Habitat never said those things to her. Talk about a nut job.

    I am buying my house and shouldn’t have to be afraid to go get my mail, mow my yard, water my yard or take out trash yet I am. She even yelled at my mother one time when she was at my house. Then tried to run over my son. She lied under oath to take out protection order and when in court, just shows the type of person she is. The parties she has, she has in the middle of her driveway and yard and blast music from her car & I can hear it over my tv on full blast plus it keeps us up all night and makes us tired the next day. She has screamed at my dogs to shut up when it was her that gets my dogs to bark with her loud mouth. I am so tired of it and I don’t know what else to do.
    A group of counselors and police officers came to my house one day to talk to me about why the police are being called so much and she took photos of them standing on my porch and she has 8 x 10 color photos of them on my deck and my house. What a complete psychopath stalker. I would move if I could but I can’t right now. I never even did anything to her to deserve all of this nightmare either. Being harassed and bullied every day is getting really old and depressing.

Hi my neighborhood person is lighting a wood fueled stove, the entire smoke is coming into our house due to wind, now our eyes are burning, getting caught , smell and getting suffocated sometimes, we have personally informed them our concern several times and requested them to stop the use of wood stove. We are in a concrete city and this smoke is really troubling us and causing health issues. How can I take action ? .

  134. Our neighbor has been stopping us from accessing the building terrace. Also he has locked the terrace and not providing the key when asked. We have been facing several issue from him. He had once filed a false case against my father which got closed by police as no offence. We had also informed the police about the terrace situation but they r referring us to registrar office in municipality. The other flat owner s are not interested in the issue as they have rented out their flats. How can we take care of this situation.

  135. Good article Mam. Thanks.

    However, my issue is slightly different, whereby a resident of our society who is a drunkard, almost every midnight creates nuisance and harassment by breaking upon windshield of cars, uttering abuses. What offences are attracted?

  138. We own a buider floor in gurgaon & really fed up with our neighbours residing on the ground floor. What section is applicable if the neighbour interfares in every day life. Looks for oppourtunities to fight over every thing possible. Threatens other neighbours not to visit our house. Threatens not to have social gatherings. Inserted cameras every where to take note of the activities of other people.

    • Hi Nidhi,

      Dial 100 and call the police and tell them that your neighbors are causing you mental harassment .One or two visit by policemen would be sufficient to subdue them from causing any nuisance in future. If things still not improve then file an FIR and send them a legal notice.

  139. Neighbour is threaten to me that they will file a false complaint against me. As a Govt. employee i am afraid that if complaint will be registered against me then my job can be lost.

  140. Hey, am aditya
    Actually i stay in a society am having problem with my neighbours.. They are spreading roumers about me all over the society telling rubbish things though they are not at all true and before some days they came and started fighting with me by saying that you threw condom in front of my house and all…. ??? they said i will beat you if such things happen again.. Though this is not a crime but i am feeling stressed about it coz i have done nothing…. So is there anything i can do

    • Try sending them a legal notice and if they again continues then file a formal complaint with the police. If does not work then approaching the court seems to be the only viable option.
