If you feel its so urgent to take action against them, then simultaneously you can raise complaint in the BMC in the structural audit engineer. who will provide the changes are done and issue order to demolish internal work produce without permission of BMC. 

 

If his brother is not party in this regards then you can file complaint against him if he is torturing or harassing you unnecessarily.

You can take legal action against his brother who is torturing and troubling you

You cannot approach BMC while the case is pending before court at this stage.

You may have to wait for the courts to reopen for normal functioning.

1. Since the matter is Sub-Judice in Court, the BMC will not act on the same based on the Architect's report.  For removal or demolition of illegal & unauthorized portions, court order will be required.

2. Yes. You are entitled to file Police FIR, requesting investigation and charge-sheet, for offences like Trespassing, Cheating, Intimidation, Threatening, Fraud, Breach of Trust, Mischief etc....  (as the case maybe) against the person, supported with all relevant supporting Documents, Evidences & Witnesses.

3. IF the Police does not take action, THEN you can file private criminal case u/s 156(3) Cr.P.C., in the local Magistrates court, seeking directions to the Police to investigate and file charge sheet. The said Person may come down for settlement.

No need of Court order for demolition, simply make a complaint to BMC for violations under section 351 MMC Act 1888. After serving notice by MCGM they would take care of demolition.

- You have a very genuine case in your support , i.e. if you will lodge a complaint before BMC , that the said tenant has done alteration and encroachment without getting the consent of landlord and approval of competent authority  , and further you are not responsible for the said illegal acts of the tenant

- Hence the BMC being a competent authority is free to take legal actions against the said tenant , and to demolish the illegal structure after issuing a notice u/s. 351. 

- Further , if BMC will not take legal action , then you can also call the official of the BMC before the court as well.

The suit for eviction is different from complaint for demolition. You can ask the BMC to demolish the illegal construction.
