Punishment and Compensation for Locking Basic Amenity Bore Water SwitchBoard Punishment and Compensation for Locking Basic Amenity Bore Water SwitchBoard

9 months ago

Hello Team,

I stay in Secunderabad, Telangana. One of Flat Owners in my Building has Locked the Basic Amenity Bore Water Switch Board for nearly 5 months to get free money and asks for 3 times amount for the maintenance of the Building and after exposed by me is threatening to beat me. Does not give any invoice. Three flat owners owe us an amount spent on maintenance of Building Terrace from more than 2 years. Other Flat Owners are supporting him since they are of same Mentality and are harassing us in some or other ways. One flat owner catched my throat and stopped me from Filling drinking water and also parks his vehicles near drinking water tank intentionally to cause inconvenience.

Have reported the issue to Society, but society has done nothing and Secretary removed us from Society whatsapp group since he belongs to same caste as this person(who locked the basic Amenity). Police have asked to consult Lawyer advice.

Would Request Experienced and Knowledgeable Lawyer for Punishment and Compensation in my case as Per Indian Laws.

Thanks

A.Dear Client,

In case your Society is registered under the State Apartment Ownership Act then the regulatory body of the said association is the Housing Deptt/Board of the State. When the existing Society is not cooperating you to resolve the matter amicably, you may file a complaint against the Society and its erring members who misbehaved and assault you to enjoy common facilities on payment of maintenance charge to the Housing Deptt and concerned Civic Authority, Municipal Authority and make out a GD in the local PS informing the incident of assault and harassment for a record which may be purposeful in the later stage.

You may also get in touch with a reliable Advocate for guidance and service of a legal notice to the Secretary of the Society and its erring members who are involved in the assault and harassment for a resolution in the matter

Dear Client,
Compensation is granted or allowed by a Court or forum having the power to grant compensation for an injury or damages caused to the claimant for the arbitrary and illegal actions of the OP. The quantum of the compensation exclusively depends on the discretion of the Court or Forum. Hope the query stands clarified.
