Tip: In such matters it has been tried and time tested; persons that are neutral, shrude negotiators, gentle, amiable, influencial, skilled can help to make the things happen.
It can be your own relatives (any one from your paternal/maternal/in laws side................or his side), friends, area councillor, MLA, a shopkeeper, community leaders, Labor Inspector,Police Inspector, Excise Inspector, President ( Pradhaan)/Secretary of any club whose mebbership you have......etc etc ................anyone that agrees and can help...................and if NOone or you don't want to involve anyone your own counsel.
Here counsel means: very able local senior counsel worth his/her salt and of unshakable repute and integrity........................They are skilled in reasoning/negotiations/arbitration/conciliation...............
If everything fails ( chancs are that everything may not fail) then you need a counsel as already suggested.
