My family and I own a small house on a corner plot in Samalkot. Our neighbor has built a drainage system right next to our property, but it’s not connected to the municipality’s network. It’s causing damage to our home’s foundation. What legal options do we have to address this situation? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

You have legal recourse under the Indian Easement Act, 1882. You can file a suit for nuisance and injunction against your neighbor to stop the drainage system from damaging your property. Additionally, you can seek compensation for the damage already caused.
