2) if no action is taken file suit seek orders to direct neighbour to remove trees planted on public road obstructing movement of vehicles

I cut the protruding branches. The resident threatened my wife and me and got very angry and pulled out a flowering plant planted outside our compound but not at all in the smallest way protruding on to the road. Any remedies?

complain to traffic police regarding parking of vehicles in narrow public road obstructing your entry and exit of vehicles
You can seek corporation help for both illegal parking issue and trimming of plants
Complaint to municipal office and SP, traffic control.
you approach civil court for this purpose and file a suit against the neighbor to cut the trees. and asking for appointing of an advocate commissioner to show the condition. and report the same to the court.
Yes, moot your grievance through Forest Department not directly.
For cutting down trees that are blocking your way, whose branches are spreading to your house or blocking hoardings, you need to take a clearance from the Forest department. Many people, due to their ignorance of the rules are attracting penalties from the Forest department.
You may inform the forest department or make a complaint with the local municipality about such obstructions and also about the vehicles parked in the street corners obstructing the view of the vehicular traffic coming form opposite direction.
Even a police complaint about the vehicles parked in such vulnerable points would make things work.
You can give a complaint with the traffic police about this and urge them to initiate steps curb such practices to prevent accidents.
You dont take law into your hands, you have options to give complaints about this to the authorities concerned and to follow up through legal sources.
- As per the information mentioned in the present query, makes it clear that this is the nuisance for all in fact not only for you.
- You can file a suit for removal of the trees under the law of nuisance before the civil court of law as this is the private nuisance for you if only you want to take action.
- In fact, if you all can come together then you all can file a police complaint for public nuisance and then police will take care of it.
