Illegal graveyard

Dear sir,

Someone owing the land near my house burried his mother there during the period of Covid 19 as I was with my daughter in AN Islands & could not travel due to non availability of flight service. He has laid 2 black stones near his mother's graveyard one in memory of his brother who died in Yemen in 1986 & another one in memory of his father who died in 90s whose body was buried in a graveyard in the nearby church.

Made a compound wall closer to my home (just 3 inch gap) without any panchayat permission. I had complained this to Direcorate of Panchayat of Kanyakumari District. The director had sent a letter to Neyyoor Panchayat to take necessary steps.

This Panchayat Offiers have replied the Director stating that it is a Catholic graveyard and only the sub collector can take action on this.

Only one body has been burried i.e his mother only. How can it be a catholic graveyard. 

Kindly advice me what i can do to stop any body should not be burried here further.

 

Thank you.

Report the matter to concerned local authorties, if no action or not satisfied with action taken you may move to jurisdictional civil court for a permanent and mandatory injunction.

You have also option to move to jurisdictional High Court in extra oridinary writ jurisdiction, to issue necessary writ to concerned authority / party.

It is advisable to contact, consult and engage a local prudent lawyer for necessary proceeding.

The advice and the suggestions made by senior  expert  Dr. Vashista seems to be appropriate, I have no  opinion better than this , hence you can proceed as suggested.
