Building a window but neighbors are obstructing it

Sir/Ma'am
We currently started a construction work in our house to enlarge the pre-existing windows by a little bit, but our neighboring Jain Temple's society is hindering in the work and threatening to put a wall over it, we just want better lighting in our home and have no ulterior motive, but they saying that it will affect their community as we will try to peek them, that is not true, the window being opened is at 8 feet of height, I am only 5'11 and my parents are shorter than me, and aren't capable of standing on stools to so called "peek" at their matters, we 3 members just want better ventilation in our crooked home, not to say that our house has been in this society for longer time than their temple and we have countless times endured because of them as they rent out this place for weddings or have community gatherings and they create a lot of noise even past midnight, I have to study for competitive exams but we never complained, all we want is just a little bit cooperation and they understanding that we are not violating any law as the window is on our side and not entering in their property. Please help
Thank you

When was the house constructed ?
Why was the window not designed and placed initially and why at this stage ?
What is specific objection of Jain Temple if the window is placed towards them ?

Hello,

You can construct the window if your house is approved by the town planning if it is not approved you can get it approved. It is your house you can construct a window.

If you are enlarging window on common wall between your house and temple then temple society has right to make objections and if it in side of your plot then temple society has no right to make objections.Consult to local lawyer in this regard for necessary action.
