I live on the first floor of my building. My neighbour above me built a new bathroom about a year ago, and since then, water has been constantly leaking into my apartment. The plaster on my bathroom terrace is starting to crumble. What legal steps can I take to address this problem?

You can send a legal notice to your neighbour demanding immediate repair of the leak. If they fail to respond, you can file a civil suit in the local court seeking an injunction to stop the leak and compensation for the damage caused to your property.

My housing society in Mumbai has four blocks, two of which are already occupied with around 1,500 flats. The remaining two blocks are under construction. My block has 11 buildings, each forming a separate society with roughly 60 flats. The plan is to create a larger association for all these societies to manage the clubhouse, gym, park, and common areas. I purchased a 1,000 square foot apartment with a parking spot. This parking is located on the podium level, which also houses the clubhouse and amenities. The location and number of my parking spot are clearly marked in the registered agreement. However, the builder is still managing the podium and the conveyance deed hasn’t been issued yet. The entire project, consisting of all four blocks, is under one approved plan and is expected to be completed in 6-7 years. Many flat owners didn’t purchase parking and are now claiming that all parking spots will be reallocated. Is this possible? Can my parking be taken away even though I paid for it?

My husband filed for divorce in 2015, citing Section 9 of the law. After receiving this notice, I filed a case under Section 498A for domestic violence and also sought maintenance for myself. He had been pressuring me for dowry, demanding a car, land, and gold for my younger sister. He’s shown no interest in me or our relationship, and our love life is nonexistent. He wants a son, and we have a daughter. I’ve realized my child isn’t safe with him and his family. I’ve tried talking to his parents, but he’s never been supportive. He’s constantly dodged my questions about our future. Then, on my daughter’s first birthday, he came with his parents and some strangers. He caused a scene, using vulgar language, and falsely accused me of having inappropriate relationships, even involving my father. I’ve decided I can’t stay with him and am now living with my parents. I’ve been here since my pregnancy. I have proof to support my case, though initially I hoped he was innocent. Now, I realize he’s part of the problem. It’s too late, but I’ve taken precautions. I bought a new phone and started recording conversations.
