Q: Association harassing over renovation work in Bangalore

I bought a property in a 15 year old building in Bangalore, and started renovations. I have not touched any RCC or load bearing walls, and broke interior brick walls to expand space. I also added a new bathroom that's connected in plumbing to an existing bathroom, where i reduced a bedroom space to accommodate it, instead of expanding to balcony like many others have done. nNow the association is threatening us to stop work because of noise (we informed ahead in writing about breakage, and that 8 weeks will be required for renovation). The association president trespassed without permission, and even brought his goons to video record inside without permission. He is threatening a court stay order - to stop work and not make the bathroom. nWhat are my options? Can the association legally stop renovation work? Bye laws do not mention any stop to renovation. And bye laws require permission before entry, unless there's an emergency.

Advocate K S Archana answered
hi the association may, if they approach the court stop the work. we are handling several such association matters. the court will grant injunction specially if sought exparte. I will need to review the byelaws however trespassing isn't acceptable. you will have to approach the court of law for the same. you can also have an advocate send out a legal notice detailing out the matter on hand. you can get in touch with us on a call, for further information.
