A.Dear Sir,
If it is within a residential area then you may definitely get some relief some local authority like municipality to cancel his shop license or you may approach Civil Court to get it closed.
you can complain about this to the police as it is a nuisance in your neighbourhood and they see to it that there are precautions ensured so that the residents are not affected. If they do not take any actions, you can then file a case against them
Thank you
