1. He has the right to make any construction within his property. The kitchen can be extended to the boundary wall.

2. Unless any construction made by him breaches the physical bounds of your property or protrudes from his property to your property you have no legal recourse against him.

Hi,

If you want to take the matter ahead , the best option is to make a complaint before the Municipal authorities .

about the illegal construction/extension which is not permissible.

if the society management is supporting this they area also equally liable.

If in any case Municipal commissioner is not taking any action against it your next option is to approach a civil court to get it demolished and stop them from it, during the pendency of the suit you can ask for a stay of the work.

1.Has he obtained sanction/approval from the local municipality for the said extension of kitchen?

2. If no, then lodge a complaint before the local municipality complaining against the said illegal construction,

3. Lodge a police complaint also for the said illegal construction without any sanction,

4. If there is no action taken by the municipality or police, you can file a writ petition before the local High court against police and municipality inaction praying for a stay order till the matter is disposed off.

If your neighbor's construction is encroaching your property or causing you disturbance in the easement rights or is in any way seems to be an obstruction to your peaceful living, you may approach the court with a suit for permanent injunction besides making a complaint with the corporation authorities for hs deviation of the approved place and illegal construction/raising of structure.
