My neighbours upstairs have a child who plays cricket inside their flat, often till late at night, causing a lot of disturbance. I’ve politely asked them to stop, and even contacted the building manager, but nothing has changed. What legal options do I have to address this situation?

Indian law recognizes the right to peaceful enjoyment of one’s property. You can file a civil suit against your neighbours for nuisance, seeking an injunction to stop the noise. Alternatively, you could approach the local police, as excessive noise after a certain hour is a violation of noise pollution rules.
