Dear Sir/Madam, There is a Civil construction going on in our locality and the owner of that property is dumping construction material (stone chips, stones etc) just in front of our apartment main gate. After talking to him, he says during construction this happens and not ready to listen. Now vehicle movement is restricted from our apartment and there are old people who may need medical attention at any point. This blockage is creating a problem for us.

Well thought dumping of construction is not illegal but ar the same point of time this must not cause nuisance or restrict common passage.
If it does then it's a civil wrong for which you can file civil suit for declaration and mandatory injunction.
So act accordingly.
You can inform Police though to mediate the dispute.
Hi
All construction permissions are granted with a pre-condition that construction material/debris cannot be dumped in any public property such as Roads, nalas, neighbouring property etc and the act of dumping debris on public property, adjoining property is considered as both public and private nuisance.
So the legal remedies available to you are
a) File a complaint to the Municipal authorities and revoke the building permission sanctioned to the owner as he has grossly violated the terms of building permission granted to him
and /or
b) File a complaint with the police against the owner and contractor for offence of public nuisance which is punishable U/S 260 Indian penal code.
and/or
c) Obtain injunction from civil court against the owner and contractor from undertaking any activity till such time the owner has come up with storing mechanisms of construction material and precautionary measures against dumping of construction debris which is validated by town planning authorities.
Hope this information is useful.
A complaint must be filed against him for endangering the property and lives of people u/s 133 or the crpc to the sub divisional magistrate. He will take prompt action.
Please approach, call and E mail to Municipal Corporation for illegal activities of person who is storing debris of his construction work near your gate causing problems in Movement and would cause serious issues of health.
Please approach and file Police complaint from your Apartment Association for causing problems in Movement and parking spaces of your vehicles in and out of your Apartment.
Please take signature of your Association members as much as you may take to put grievances against injustice being caused to you all by the person who is involved in construction of his Apartment.

Dear Sir,
calling a police if your neighbor harasses you is an option to go with. You have the option to call the police by just dialing the police number 100 and police will come to the place mentioned by you in the phone call. They will come to the spot and ask you the problem and then will take the action against them. And, when they will reach the spot you should be having sufficient proof to prove the harassment by neighbors.
Harassment Through Nuisance
You may be living in an apartment or in a duplex, often it happens, when you hear loud music sound from the neighbor’s house, you try to ignore that sound for as long as possible but sometimes, such noise may make life difficult. This type of nuisance is defined in Section 268 of the Indian Penal Act.
Section 268 of the Indian Penal Code defines nuisance when the person is guilty of a public nuisance when he does any act which causes injury, danger or annoyance to the public or the people in general who live or occupy the property in the neighborhood.
A common nuisance is not excused on the ground that it causes some convenience or advantage.
If this type of harassment is faced by you from your neighbor then, you can file an application under Section 268 of IPC in the court of magistrate.
Punishment of nuisance is defined in Section 290 of IPC, which is mere Rs. 200 but the court can do much more.
As a matter of fact, calling 100 is most effective as, after a visit or two from the police, such nuisance is likely to stop. In extreme cases, police may even confiscate the instruments that are used to cause nuisance like – loudspeakers or sound boxes, or drones, cameras or such other tools.
Sometimes, police does not intervene despite laws being there as they do not like extra work on their plate or because the other party is very influential. In such cases, you may need to take help of legal experts. Harassment Through Mischief
When you live in a duplex, you are sharing a common wall. If your neighbor starts construction in that common wall you do not have the right to stop him from constructing because it is his legal right but if during the construction work your property gets damaged, you can ask him to compensate for the loss suffered by you but if your neighbor refuses to pay you the amount then you can file a case under –
Section 425 of IPC which states that whoever with intent to cause, or knowing that he is likely to cause, wrongful loss or damage to the public or to any person, causes the destruction of any property, or any such change in any property or in the situation thereof as destroys or diminishes its value or utility, or affects it injuriously, commits mischief.
You can file suit for declaration and mandatory injunction in a civil court as well.
You can claim damages in the same suit.
