boundry wall

my neighbour is creating a room he has already putted a roof shed,he is using my wall for support,what should I do.

Quick Summary

If your neighbour is using your boundary wall for support when building a room or shed, you may have legal recourse. While amicable discussion is recommended, unauthorised construction on your property or using your wall as a structural support is not permitted. You can report the construction to local authorities and, if necessary, seek legal action to protect your property rights.

Hello,

You can take legal action against your neighbour if he is using your portion of land. However I will suggest you to discuss the issue with neighbour and resolve the dispute amicably.

1. Construction of any Room, beyond the permissible FSI limitation is barred, unless the Town Planning or Municipal dept., has given permission. Make a complaint to this authorities.

2. However he still cannot use the common compound wall as support wall to construct his room, since you have to keep a minimum of 3 meter space from compound wall and the room wall.

If the wall is common wall he can use half of the widdth of wall, but if the compound wall is yours absolute then you need to file suit for injunction and also make police complaint.
