Common wall demolition by neighbour

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 02 December 2018 This query is : Resolved
Sir, we are having a common wall built in 1980 by mutual understanding of both,we and our relative which was first owner of the adjacent house. After that neighbouring house was sold to 3-4 owners and currently it was owned by 4th owner.
Now he has started construction by demolishing his house and also demolished common wall without our permission. We have requested him to leave the wall as we are concerned for water entry in our house as construction is of clay( not of cement).
After, He left the wall space and taken the columns in his area and also agreed that he will do the necessary construction for the demolished common wall and ensure water not entering in our house.
Now he has built his wall and not filled gap between two walls( only filled the pieces of bricks without any cement concrete material) by continuously said by us also.
Now all his construction water is coming in our house and we are getting daily issues. Also we are really worried about the rainy season.
Now the owner is not talking to us properly and saying that he has already left the wall (which was done by mutual understanding)and now he is not going to do anything and challenging us by saying do what we can do to him.
It has been about 1 month we are facing this.
Can we take any legal action against him.

Pl. Guide.

Pls don’t post as AQ and post with your ID and you can get many responses.
Your ID does not mean your email id or phone number etc and don’t post these.
Before attaching any document erase all names, logo, email id, phone number, address etc to maintain confidentiality.
Obtain proper legal opinion in writing from LOCAL counsel specializing in concerned field of law.

If the common wall was on your side then neighbor must not demolish IT.
If the said agreement/mutual consent was documented and narrated in agreements then take out and show and try level best to resolve amicably.
