Dear Jay,

Thanks for your time again.

Yes I agree ...... it would take lot of my time and effort..... and i think it
is not worth going to police.

More over i'm constructing my own house and would be moving in some time in MAY.
So i would just hold on for some more time and move on.....

Thanks a lot sir... for your help.

Regards
Hashem

....please advice



Hashem,I do not see any criminal issue here. Except, if he is physically
preventing you or cutting electricity etc. Otherwise, This is entirely based on
agreement and civil matter. I very much doubt if Police will entertain this
case.Also, You think it over what you want to achieve by persuing this. You need
LOT of energy and LOT of time. Please decide if this is worthwhile.ThanksJay---
