For cutting tree permission from forest department is required in some states. Please confirm the position in your state.
Try to have amicable solution, legal path is cost and time consuming.

s/ 133 Cr PC may not be needed in this case as you are being allowed to abate nuisance. You are willing to bear cost of abatement on the condition that they should not have free enjoyment of wood and other product of tree.
Since you are not the owner of land you may not be able to apply for permission.

further, if you stay away from the greed of cut tree and move u/s 133 Cr PC then there will be order from SDM which will be complied by them. With that order they will then have money to cut the tree and may keep cut tree also.
In such case if they do so without permission of forest deptt they will be liable for action and not you
