Refusal of laying underground water pipeline

You have to take permission from the Grampanchayat for your pipeline. You do not have any right on neighbour land property. So take permission from the local authorities in writing. 

Nothing as such  like th 3 feet deep exception. It has to go through a execption from th Gram panchayat as rightly advised above

Well myself not from your state , was reading my state Maharashtra land revenue code for some other work .

There is provision by which for agriculture purpose you can lay underground pipe line from others plot  to your plot or mutually settlement you can make way by which water reaches your plot for agriculture purpose.

If there is no settlement between two plot holders as in your case then you need to apply to Thesildar /Mamledar and he takes final call and allow you to do so with necessary precaution and direction which you need to follow , this order is given in writing.

This order can not be challegened but Collector can only check if all is in order or there are defects and it can not be contested in Hon. Court 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

But your state if this powers are with thesildar /any other officer like Gram panchyat you need to check. Some time to fast /speedy disposal of application such powers can be further given below to officers under thesildar like circle , or village level so they don't need to even reach thesildar.

If your neighbor is not allowing the installation of an underground pipeline, there are several steps you can take to address the situation:

1. Communication: Start by having an open and respectful conversation with your neighbor to understand their concerns. Listen to their perspective and try to find common ground. Explain the purpose and benefits of the underground pipeline and address any misconceptions they may have.

2. Seek professional advice: Consult with experts, such as engineers or utility professionals, to determine the feasibility and necessity of the underground pipeline. They can provide technical guidance and offer alternative solutions if applicable.

3. Review local regulations and permits: Familiarize yourself with local regulations and permits related to underground pipelines. Ensure that you comply with all legal requirements and obtain the necessary permits before proceeding. Share this information with your neighbor to demonstrate that you are following the proper procedures.

4. Mediation: If direct communication does not yield a resolution, consider involving a neutral third party, such as a mediator or community association, to facilitate a discussion between you and your neighbor. They can help foster a compromise or understanding.

5. Seek legal advice: If all attempts at resolving the issue amicably fail, you may want to consult with a lawyer who specializes in property or real estate law. They can provide guidance on your rights and legal options in dealing with the situation.

Remember, every situation is unique, and the steps you take will depend on local regulations, your specific circumstances, and the nature of your relationship with your neighbor. It's important to approach the situation with empathy, understanding, and a willingness to find a mutually beneficial solution.
