in my apartment complex, there is no association (unregistered or registered), though there are 24 residents.
i planted 5 tree saplings in my apartment complex @ chennai, in common space in the ground (along side the compound wall) a year ago after spending Rs 500/ , but one mischievous resident at the time we planted the saplings told he would remove the saplings. and till date he either nips the tree saplings in the bud or destroys mischievously, without our knowledge. i suspect this as mischief by the same resident.
1. what should i do to protect the saplings from the mischiefs..
2. what type of evidence i can collect to go to police to complain
3. under which section of IPC, complaint can be booked and action can be taken.
