Neighbour nuisance

Dear Client,
In the given scenario, despite your polite appeal/approach, if the people do not refrain from the practice, you can lodge an FIR/complaint of public nuisance against them under Section 270 of BNS at the local police station to resolve the issue. If the police refuse to register the FIR, you can file a complaint with the Judicial Magistrate under Section 175(3) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) seeking a direction to the police to register the complaint. Apart, you can file a petition praying for a protective order before the City Civil Court or District Court. A Protective Order is a civil court order that is designed to stop violent and harassing behaviour and to protect you from the abuser whose attitude or behaviour 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 abuse or threat has occurred. 2. Regular Order of Protection (Non-emergency). There are no fees for filing a petition for a Protective Order. You do not need an Advocate to file for a Protective Order. However, if you wish, you can hire an Advocate to represent you suitably before the Court to obtain a protective order. At the Show Cause hearing, you have to show and prove by adducing substantial evidence why you need the Protective Order.
