Harassment by the tenants who live in the flat above mine.
9 months ago
There is a family who stays in the flat above mine. They are tenants, and constantly cause noise which disturbs me. Throughout the day I can hear their kids running, jumping, and slamming things along with the noise of shifting furniture. This is indeed very disturbing. Despite informing the society office and the owner of their flat, there is no action taken. What can I do in such a case?
A.Dear client,
There is a law called "law of torts" and under that law one can file a case in civil court seeking relief from the court from such kind of nuisance and the court has the power to grant relief.
Then there are other criminal provisions under which the noisy Neighbours can be booked like;
Section 268 in The Indian Penal Code
268. Public nuisance.—A person is guilty of a public nuisance who does any act or is guilty of an illegal omission which causes any common injury, danger or annoyance to the public or to the people in general who dwell or occupy property in the vicinity, or which must necessarily cause injury, obstruction, danger or annoyance to persons who may have occasion to use any public right. A common nuisance is not excused on the ground that it causes some convenience or advantage.
Section 290 in The Indian Penal Code
290. Punishment for public nuisance in cases not otherwise proÂvided for.—Whoever commits a public nuisance in any case not otherwise punishable by this Code, shall be punished with fine which may extend to two hundred rupees.
You can file a complaint under these sections of the IPC
