UI am 21M and am mentally tired and harassed of my neighbour playing loud music on speaker every day from 10am to 2pm and I want to take any legal action against them which is suitable for a 21M .
For Context and History:-
I live in an apartment on 3rd Floor in West Bengal this problem has been going on since past 1-2 years , I have directly confronted them on different occasions which resulted in verbal fights and confrontation but the issue didn’t resolve. I am not against someone playing music in their apartment but they open their main door and play at full volume and even if I keep my close door I can hear the music even to my room which is at a distance.
I want a legal action in which I can file a complaint while remaining anonymous since I don’t want anymore direct confrontations.
Please help if you know any way or lawyers in West Bengal to consult with preferably in Liluan / Howrah / Kolkata .
Thank you

AIf you get a lawyer to file a case about noise pollution, you will has 10 times the stress which you currently have.
Simple solution, get a vibrating boom box speaker on rent, point the speaker towards their house, and play heavy metal music at top volume at the same time. Make sure the speaker has strong bass or get a separate bass speaker.
Keep the volume same level as he is keeping it. Problem solved in couple of days.-

UOP i had the same problem. I did exactly this. Except, I waited for his exams to come around. It also helped that we lived in duplex but still, it’s worth a shot.

Qthere is hardly any legal solution that is practical.. I can suggest FIR & all but it is BS…
get some superglue or araldite & pour into door locks, vehicle locks, vehicle tyres valves.. feed zaay lee tall to their dogs, liquid para sit a mall to their cats..
this will not reduce speaker volume, it will bring some retribution
-
UYou bet , I pray for their downfall daily. Hopefully they will get pets so I can follow up with your plan lol

UPlease don’t harm innocent and absolutely involved creatures in the name of “retribution”. That is just inhumane.

QNAL…
OP since you stay in an apartment, there should be a residents association or HOA of some sort. Try to get the association on your side and get them to issue a notice to the errant neighbour.
If you want to file a police complaint, then you need to measure the noise level. If the music is played above 55 Decibels (Db) then you can make a police complaint. Hire a lawyer and file a complaint to the magistrate who can authorise punitive action to be taken against the miscreants.
The above link can help give some ideas about this. Also you can’t do this anonymously. Your neighbour already is aware that you have accosted and fought with him over the noise issue.
Hope this helps..

UThank you for your input it was very informative and helpful. Also the HOA in my case tried persuading them initially but unable to get cooperation they advised me to take legal actions, so here I am.

LBefore going that route, maybe speak to your society management about it. It’s unreasonable they keep the door open and play it at full volume, so these things can easily be adjusted if they’re willing to, well, just not be unreasonable. Maybe having other members intervene first is a better solution, but you know more about that.

UI have tried to get cooperation with them personally but it resulted in verbal altercation since they think it’s well within their right to blast music if the speaker is within their premises. I along with the society committee also went in the hopes of cooperation but the results were same and therefore I can only go the legal way. Though I wish it could be resolved without legal measures since it would take a toll on me too.

LYes, why I said use that as the last resort. You can of course call the police for nuisance, but the way cops usually are, not sure if you’ll get much help and it might only make things more tense. Love the other idea someone mentioned about returning their favour in kind. When they do this, open your door and play songs you want on full volume as well. Their logic of the speaker being on their premises should apply to you too

M1. Request politely
2. Raise it with your association
3. Call the policeAs you will continue to live there please try to work out an amicable solution. What will help your case is if someone is getting disturbed – like an elderly person or a student preparing for exams. Find a reason which will result in empathy for you.
Legal action is unlikely to yield results in the short term. By the time you resolve it you may be considerably older and madder.

BLawyer here.
File a Civil Suit seeking injunction and damages. Also file for ex-parte ad interim injunction. With a good lawyer you will be able to get an ex-parte injunction in such a case.
