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.

I’ve been selected for the ADI post in the MSME department of the West Bengal government by the WB PSC. However, just before my appointment, three unsuccessful candidates filed a case at the SAT challenging the selection panel. The court issued an order stopping the appointment of one candidate without even hearing the successful candidates. While there was no bar to joining the other 25 candidates, the department’s delay has put our appointments on hold. Now, the unsuccessful candidates have submitted a new application (MA) against some of the successful candidates without amending their original petition, and the judge has issued an interim order affecting the entire panel. This leaves us, the 18 newly added parties, in a difficult situation. We have already lost out on an increment due to the delay. Our lawyer is working with us, but we are considering getting a new lawyer. Is there a process for replacing our current lawyer?
