Dear client,
In India, legal recourse is available for issues like this. Keep records of the leakage, take photographs or videos showing the problem, and note down dates and times when you approached your neighbor about it. Approach your neighbor once more, preferably in writing (email or letter), politely explaining the problem again and requesting them to take action. If your neighbor remains unresponsive, contact your local municipal corporation or authorities responsible for maintaining public spaces. They can inspect the issue and potentially issue a notice to your neighbor to rectify the problem. In some cases, involving a mediator or a local community leader can help facilitate a solution without escalating to legal action. As a last resort, you may consider legal action. Legal remedies could include filing a complaint in a civil court for nuisance or seeking an injunction to stop the drainage from affecting your property.
Under Indian laws, the specific legal remedies might vary based on the local municipality laws or state regulations. The Indian Easements Act, 1882 might also provide some relevant provisions regarding the rights and liabilities associated with drainage and water-related issues between adjoining properties.
