Hello everyone, I need legal advice regarding a family issue before constructing our own house.

We have land (our own plots) where we plan to build a house. But the problem is that my cousin, who lives nearby, is a habitual drinker and often creates trouble. He abuses and threatens us without reason, boasting about his position in the Indian Army. He is set to retire in 6 months.

Right now, our house is very close to his, and his window is near our door, making daily life stressful. If we build the new house on our land (about 100-200m away from his current place), I fear he may still come and create disturbances. My father believes that after retirement, he won’t trouble us as his pension will be reduced, but I am unsure.

My Questions:

1. What legal steps can I take beforehand to ensure a peaceful life?

2. Can I get a legal restriction (like a restraining order) to prevent him from coming near our new house?

3. If he continues to harass us after retirement, what legal actions can we take?

I want to secure my family’s safety and peace before investing in house construction. Any legal experts or experienced people, please help.
