My family and I live on the top floor of a two-storey cooperative society building in Virar, Maharashtra. Recently, a large chunk of the ceiling collapsed, seriously injuring my child. We’ve begun repairs, but the problem stems from an old leak that the society tried to fix by adding a roof. The ceiling decayed unnoticed, despite promises in past meetings that the society would handle such repairs. Can we sue the society for the repair costs and medical expenses? They had a responsibility to fix the ceiling before adding the roof.

Yes, you can potentially sue the society under Indian law. The society had a duty to maintain the building and fix the leak properly, which they failed to do. You can seek compensation for the repair costs, medical expenses, and any other damages caused by the negligence.
