I built a house in a site in 2004. Another family built their house in the site adjacent to mine
6-7 years before me. They grow some Areca-nut trees and Coca-nut trees around their
house including the side common to my site. very intelligently they have planted their
Areca-nut plat around Coca-nut plant so that all Coca-nut tree’s bend outside of their site into
other’s site. Thats fine.
Now issues are :- Areca-nut trees in the side along my sites are about 20-30 ft high and
one side of all the trees facing my site is, almost more than half of the tree-side, Sun-Burnt.
In last 1-2 years almost three of them got cut and fell on my house. Fortuenately it has not
done any visible damage. Still 7-8 more trees are standing dangerously there.
Secondly, there are two Coca-nut trees bent to my site. I understand it is expensive
and difficult to get a person to pluck them just for few trees. But she uses a long pipe
to pluck them. But this act has already damaged my water- meter, it has damaged
my compound wall.
Owner of that site or House is a lady and very arrogant. Speaking to them is not worth.
Do I have to approach authorities/court only after more damage is done
or can I approach Panchayat/DC/Court. I know Panchayat people are hesitant/scared to
talk to them.
Kindly suggest me how to proceed.
