Dear Client,
In the given scenario, you can file a petition praying for an Order of Protection in court, justice, or city civil court or District Court. A Protective Order is a civil court order that is designed to stop violent and harassing behavior and to protect you from the abuser whose attitude or behavior appears to be life-threatening. There are two types of Protective Orders available for you. 1. Emergency Order of Protection (Ex Parte Emergency Order of Protection) - The Petition for Protective Order must clearly show that an act of domestic violence has occurred, 2. Regular Order of Protection (Non-emergency). There are no fees for filing a Protective Order. You do not need an Advocate to file for a Protective Order. However, if you wish, you can have an Advocate to represent you suitably before the Court to obtain a protective order. At the Show Cause Hearing, you need to show and prove by adducing substantial evidence why you need the Protective Order. Apart from this, you may escalate your grievance before the District Administration, including DM/SDM/Tehashildar/Municipality, for a resolution in the matter. If the matter is not resolved, then by serving a legal notice to the errant neighbor, you can file a suit under Section 268 of IPC against the neighbor for public nuisance. Reach out to an Advocate for guidance and steps. Reach out to an Advocate for advice and suitable steps.
