Is it illegal to cut the branches of neighbor without permission?

Q: We have a mango tree in our garden. The branches were hang over in our neighbors garden. So they came into our garden and cut the branches without our permission and destroyed the asbestos of our house. Is it illegal for them to do that?

Entering someones property, without permission, to cut a tree would undoubtedly be illegal. You may need to take matters to court. But remember, good relationships with neighbours are valuable beyond price, and bad relationships can ruin everyones lives.

Hello Harish,
Contact your local mediation centre and try to reach a solution with your neighbour that both of you can live with.

Your neighbour has the legal right to trim branches of your tree if they hang over the property line. But if the trimming seriously injures your tree, your neighbour will be liable to you for the damage done.
