For civil action initiate a legal notice. If still problem persists then launch a fir
Hi, what are the legal remedies against a resident that displaces public property - in this case footpath stones from a public park - and uses it to block parking in a common street? This would also be littering.

Lawyers are available now to answer your questions.
Police complaint in area where the non-sensical person is living or in the area where he’s carrying out the nonsense work.
File police complaint against accused under section 283 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) for causing “danger or obstruction in a public way”.
Do I need proof , pictures of them committing the act? Could they file a counter case for harrasment against me?
Yes you have to show some pictures for proof so that the police can register a case and that person can’t do anything of you. You can add this contention of police protection in the application if the non-sensical person harasses you, you’d have police behind your back.
Thanks
Dear Ma'am/ Sir,
Since you have stated that such person has been blocking a spot for parking in a common pathway/Street, you can file a case under section 283 of IPC, which states the punishment for someone causing obstruction in a public way or line of navigation.
Thank You.
This would be termed as encroaching government property.
A complaint to the local civic body with evidences of photographs showing his acts of encroachment can be given and wait for the action to be taken by the competent authority in this regard, to follow the matter by filing a PIL before high court, if the local civic body fails to render the desired service
You need to provide documentary evidences to substantiate your complaint unless your complaint may not even be entertained.
If he is filing any counter case, you cannot restrict him from doing so, but you can challenge the same on merits.
- Legally such type of littering , displacement of public property is an offence and a complaint can be filed by any citizen of India.
- However, if you having proof of committing the act or the proof that the said stone is a part of footpath then you can lodge an FIR against him .
- If you will take legal step against him alone then there is chances for harassment , hence you should take assistance from more person from the locality and file a compliant commonly.
