nuisance and harassment caused by a tea stall owner in neighborhood nuisance and harassment caused by a tea stall owner in neighborhood

3 years ago

There is a tea stall right next to my house rented in the neighbor's house. The owner of that tea stall is always ready to take the fight with us on small things, today he tried to push my father after he told the tea owner that "he should keep the place clean" because there are a lot of cups and cigarettes and plastic cup always around the corner of the house. How can he push my father like that, he is a very aggressive man, we are afraid of him, he can do harm to my family. please help us and guide us on what we can do, this is hurting us psychologically, we tried to talk to the owner of the house to not rent to such a tea stall in the neighborhood but he doesn't listen. I'm ready to talk any legal action as required to get that tea stall rid of my neighborhood.

A.Calling the police is the most effective way as in this case, trying a court procedding seems taxing and unnecessary. Though a Court proceeding under section 290, IPC could be initiated but it would be better if you just call the police and take support from other neighbors to put extensive pressure on the Police. The harassment is likely to stop.

A.Hi,
Calling the police if your neighbor harasses you is an option to go with and, when they reach the spot you should be having sufficient proof to prove the harassment by the neighbor.
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 a nuisance is likely to stop. In extreme cases, the police may even confiscate the instruments that are used to cause a nuisance.

Also, try to gain the support of other neighbors against the tea stall owner, it would pressurize the Police to end this harassment asap.
