As salam u alaikum
Our neighbours are making troubles for us for the last so many years. Their house is constructed on nearly 10 ft above our ground level and therefore their severage water continously comes in our home through the separation wall.
We have requested them so many times and they did some repair work in their home but nothing happened.
You can imagine how painful it is to have their water from the servage line in our home where our children play.
Should we contact any Lawyer, or should we file any case against them?
What are the chances of winning the case?
Any good Lawyer who is expert in dealing with such cases in the Rawalpindi?
Please do advice sincerely to help your brother
Regards

Dear Brother
I am not a layer and don’t have any idea about the case situation. In your request nowhere is written that they are not agree to do further maintenance from their end nor you mentioned that situation is reached to logged a case against your neighbor. Any how my advise is to gather some more reasonable and older persons from your neighbors and speak to them politely and softly to solve this problem just tell them to put them self in your position and decide, they might generate a soft corner in their heart and do some solid maintenance job to avoid any problem in future because once you knock the door of police or court then in future may be your living condition would more critical then now. Remember both of you have some rights toward each other.
Thanks |

I suggest sell your home and move to a society where building rules are strictly observed.
If you want to confront than check the by laws of your housing authority and check, if your own home comply to those laws, If yes than sue both your neighbor and the authority. |

I will 2nd welwisher. Use all other venue before taking any legal action against your neighbour. Legal action may lead to stopage of severage water, but it may creates other problems, like hatrade, enemity.
After all he is your neighbour that you may have to deal with him and stay their for long to come. |

If I had the choice of having a neighbor angry OR having that neighbors RAW SEWAGE in my home and property, I would choose to have that neighbor angry. I WOULD get a lawyer TODAY and do everything in my power to stop his sh*t from coming into my living space. Good God, why is there any questionn about what to do? Why should he have to move? Who would buy his house under these conditions ???
Only an idiot of a neighbor would not understand why I did what I did. |

Dear Yesss, no one is suggesting here to take neighbor’s shit and NOT do any think. The suggestion is to DO take legal action but ONLY after exhausting other options.
I believe that is the best way to go forward. |

Petience, petience and petience. Remind him the problem very politely.
Neighbour has many rights, very close to your to imediate relative.
Allah will make things very positive if you really believe in Him(Allah). |

I got a same problem with my neighbour. I went to his house and became very friendly. He got a grandson during those days and I gave his grandson some money as Mubarak and without talking to the problem, came to my house. The other day I was surprised to see that they were working to stop that dirt water coming to our house. Problem has been solved and our relations became more solid and friendly. |
