Well, this is a civil dispute and hence you need to explore civil remedy.

So file a civil suit for declaration and mandatory injunction along with prayer for ad interim injunction as well.

Once the court injunct him from soling your floor anymore you can see your problem resolved soon.

Hi

First get it confirmed that the damage caused to your property is due to the leakage from your neighbour's property.

By annexing the complaint copy given to MCD once again lodge a complaint to MCD marking a copy to the Concerned Higher Officials of your neighbour. 

Inspite of the same if there is no response, you may have to file a writ petition against the erring officials.

Hello, 

Giving complaint to MCD will be of no use in this case and neither the police will help you.

  1. If you guys reside in a cooperative society, then you must file a petition in cooperative court against your neighbor. 
  2. If you guys aren't residing in a cooperative society, then you must sue him in civil court for nuisance. 
  3. You of course require services of an expert advocate for taking the legal recourse in 1 or 2. I'm prepared to handle your case.

Dear sir, 

Since you have mentioned that your neighbour is at a influential position. so complaining in the police station will not solve your purpose. The best thing you can do is send him a legal notice stating to provide him some time unless civil or criminal proceedings can be initated against him.

On that note, you can initiate a suit for injunction against him in the court of law, in which the legal notice will act as an evidence.

You can contact me for consultation. if any, 

Regards,

You may issue a legal notice intimating your neighbor regarding nuisance being caused by him which is affecting your peaceful possession.

A complaint to the municipal authorities can be made

if he refuses to repair obtain court orders to direct neighbor to repair the wall and stop the water leakage from his side.

This is a case of nuisance. Section 268 of the Indian Penal Code defines Public Nuisance as “An act or illegal omission which causes any common injury, danger or annoyance to the people in general who dwell, or occupy property, in the vicinity, or which must necessarily cause injury, objection, danger or annoyance to persons who may have occasion to use any public right.”

One option available to you, is to approach the Police and report the case of nuisance. The other option you have is to seek injunction by approaching the Court. The Court may direct this neighbour to repair this leakage, which has otherwise been a cause of nuisance for you.
