This query is : Resolved
The Town and country planing officer has stopped the construction of building by saying that the construction was not according to TCP norms. The complaint was made by someone for this.The TCP officer also abuses the owner at the spot in the presence of many people and stopped the work forcibly even the building was constructing under Gram Panchayat .Now after all confirmations it is found that there was no illegal construction. The notices was served by the officer at the office address of the owner of the land in the presence of all colleagues, although permanent address was also available with the officer.
now the person who have made the complaint has constructed the building adjoining to our space where the TCP has stopped the work . They has not taken any action against him ,. because the construction is legal. But TCP has said our construction illegal that time.
So i want to make a shit on TCP officer for compensation as he has defamed at the spot of building by abusing and also by not serving the notice to my permanent address.

Brfore resorting to legal action consult a lawyer about the maintainability of the complaint. Else, the officials will stick to their stand pointing out technical issues.

1. You can file a Police FIR, requesting investigation and charge-sheet, for offences like Defamation, Threatening, Intimidation, against the person, supported with all relevant supporting documents and atleast 2-3 witnessess who should testify against this person.
2. IF the Police does not take action, THEN you can file private criminal case u/s 156(3) Cr.P.C., in the local Magistrates court, seeking directions to the Police to investigate and file charge sheet.

Police complaint may not result in quick action. An alternative to teach the TCP officer a lesson for his misbehavior is to lodge complaint with he Municipal Commissioner for disciplinary action against the officer.
