What is the proceedure to give complaint about nuisance?


Answer:
That is a pretty broad statement. First of all it would depend upon what the nuisance is. Is there a county or city ordinance against it and what department would handle it?

If it is a dog problem you would call animal control. If it is the neighborhood kids flipping you the bird, there is not much that can be done. If it is loud noise it depends if there is a noise ordinance. If it is a train blowing its whistle as it goes by during the night there is nothing you can do about that.
Probably if you call the police department they can direct you to the the right place or let you know that nothing can be done.
In England anyway you go to police and complain.
Your query is a bit too general. Is a neighbour creating the nuisance, a co-worker who's being a nuisance, is it someone's dog that's being a nuisance in your yard? There are many kinds of nuisance and places where it can occur. But as a generality it's very simple. There's no need to be hostile or aggressive in the matter. Aggressiveness usually only makes matters worse. Keep your cool and simply speak to the person you feel is responsible for creating the nuisance and explain your situation. If they become angry or hostile which sometimes happens ask them to calm down and remain civil. If the issue isn't resolved and is a tenancy disagreement, contact your landlord. If it's a workplace issue, talk to your supervisor or someone higher up. If it's some other dispute you can inquire at your local police department (don't call 911). If that doesn't work have a lawyer advise you of your rights in the matter and have him issue a letter of warning if possible. Depending on the severity of the nuisance you can probably sue if the instigator of the nuisance has not stopped after repeated warnings. You need to show psychological or physical distress caused by the nuisance. Your lawyer will be able to advise you. But use the legal route only as a last resort. It can get expensive and there is no guarantee you will win. But most people will take a lawyer letter very seriously. Nobody wants to be litigated.
the procedure to give complaint about nuisance in two ways
1.to concern public nuisance officer in-charge
2.nuisance may clasified into two catogries
a.public nuisance-pil may file in the h.c
b.private nuisance-this complaint should file under pecuniary or territorial jurisdiction of the municif court
Go to concenred department, police or magistrate. You may face nuisance at all above places. It is not easy to lodge complaint.
GO TO YOUR LOCAL POLICE STATION WITH TWO COPIES OF YOUR WRITTEN COMPLAINT HAND IT OVER TO THE MAN AT THE DESK AND GET BACK ONE STAMPED COPY.
nuisance of what. U can file a civil suit
Depends on what you mean by nuisance. I presume you are in India.

If it is a municipal nuisance such as fouling of pavements, garbage etc., complain to the concerned ward of the municipality. Follow up within 15 days with a Right to Info application demanding what action they have taken on your complaint. They are obliged to reply within 30 days. You can buy a copy of Right to Information Act, 2005.

If it is nuisance such as offensive behaviour by any person/s in a public place, make a written complaint to the local police station. Get an acknowledgment on your written complaint and follow up under RTI Act after 15 days as above. Otherwise if they register an NC, follow up with RTI Act.

I have personally found that in any matter, if you submit a written complaint to the concerned public authority and follow up under RTI Act, you will sooner or later get positive results.

Hope this helps.
