Shrish Malagi - house owned by three co-owners
2 years ago
Ground floor and first floor independent house owned by three co-owners. One of the co-owner locked first floor of house without consent of other co-owners. What legal action can be taken by other co-owners.
A.Dear Client
If he is a co-owner of the property, then he must take the consent before locking it or must inform the other co-owners before doing so. You may talk to him first and even if he doesn't agree, you may proceed with the legal action by sending him a legal notice. You may visit a property lawyer for better guidance for the same.
Thanks

A.Dear Client
As long as the property is a joint property and all the three co-owners are having the rights in the property no individual owner can take a decision by putting other owners in to a difficult situation or create grievance for others.
You can file a case in court seeking direction from the court to open to unlock the floor.

A.You can send a legal notice to the said co owner for providing a key of the said lock of the main entrance and exit of the whole premises to all the co owners of the said house since it is an undivided property. If he/she fails to provide a key to all the co owners then kindly lodge a police complaint against the said co owner and ask the police authority to install a new lock in their presence and all the other co owners. As per the law of the land, all the owners shall have access to the entrance and exit of the whole undivided premises as it is the exclusive right of all the co owners to use each and every part of the property since the property is undivided.
