i have bought a water front house property in Allepppey backwaters to enjoy the beauty and ambiance. Now my neighbor is anchoring his house boat in such a way that 50% of the Houseboat is parked infront of my property (not tying in my property). This is a national waterway NW 3. Recently i have rented out this property and now operated as a service villa for tourist. Even after repeated request he is not removing that, stating that it is a mean of income for him.Now he has put 2 more house boat (not everyday) and my view to the backwater from one side is totally lost. The said Neighbor works in houseboats and his wife gets income from washing cloths of these house boats. He has a son who does masonry jobs. i have told them not to park the house boat into the front side of my property, rather they can park infront of their house. He also claims that the canal is public property and i cannot do anything. what suit has to filed and other advices.

If your neighbor is creating unnecessary nuisance and encroaching your property, you may file a mandatory injunction suit against him restraining him from interfering into your peaceful possession and enjoyment of your property. The water in front of your house is probably not yours, see how fare you will justify your claim, better try for an amicable situation than going for long drawn legal battles.
