A 3-storey building in India, with each floor owned by a different person, has a shared rooftop. The second floor owner built an extra floor and blocked the front entrance to the roof, preventing access to the water tank and antenna. Can the other owners file a legal case to force the second floor owner to reopen the roof access?

Yes, the other owners can file a legal case. Indian law recognizes shared property rights in buildings, and the second floor owner’s actions infringe on the rights of the other owners to access the shared rooftop, water tank, and antenna. A court could order the second floor owner to remove the unauthorized construction and restore access.
