Public borewell very close 20 ft to my hand excavated well of 25ft

My neighbors are planning to drill a public borewell very close to our house in road, which ranges from 30 to 35 ft distance from my well, how to convince them legally to drill bore in other place

There are local laws and regulations as to digging up of borewell. You may also take up the matter with the Revenue as well as Municipal Authorities. You also have the option to take up the matter with the District/Taluka Legal Services Authority (Adalat functioning in the local court).

You can also send a legal notice and/or initiate a civil action. But such a course could involve substantial expense.

Thank you very much for the suggestions sir

File a suit for permanent and mandatory injunction through a local prudent lawyer restraining the defendant (neighbour) from illigal digging.
