Is a security guard entitled to claim ownership of a flat in a cooperative housing society after living in the meter room for 12 years, cooking meals in the common areas, and using the society’s shared toilet facilities for staff?

No, Indian law does not grant ownership of a flat in a cooperative housing society to a security guard based on their long-term residence in the meter room and use of shared facilities. This is because the security guard’s employment is separate from any claim to ownership, and the meter room is not considered a dwelling unit.
