No person is permitted to cause construction on a public land or on common area of joint property of several persons. 

So if the land belongs to the government then file a writ petition in high court. 

Otherwise file a civil suit for mandatory injunction.

If he has constructed the cowshed in the common place then the local civic authority only can take an action against the encroachment of the public place.

You may submit a written complaint to the local civic body about this illegal encroachment and find out the remedy through the authority concerned.

You have to immediately file suit for injunction and stop his constructions. Further you can lodge complaint and take consent of others and get their affidavits in support of your case which makes your case more stronger.

- As per law, for constructing of cowshed , permission from the municipal authority is mandatory, otherwise it is illegal. 

- Legally , a cowshed in the residential area is not allowed , as it creates nuisance , and health problems for others.

- Under Section 133 of the Criminal Procedure Code, the District Magistrate or a Sub-divisional Magistrate having power to remove such type of illegal nuisance .

- Hence , you can lodge a written complaint after taking approval of all other residents , in the office of Municipal Corporation for the removal of cowshed construction. 

- If , no response within 7 days of time , then lodge the same complaint before the SDM/DM.
