disconnection of water supply:

Housing society has disconnected most of my water supply on false claims of leakage, fire and electrical danger. Remaining water supply also threatened. Under which Articles, Acts and Sections can I get relief from the Bombay High Court?

If the water supply is disconnected on false claims by society, first you have to file a complaint before Registrar and get hearing on the same. If it fails, you can approach Hon’ble High Court to file writ petition.

The Society cannot disconnect essential services like water supply without BMCs permission is there BMC permission? There are many laws and regulations for the remedies. IPC (BNS) , CPC, CONSTITUTION. Eg - Art 21 and 300A - Constitution Sec 426, 341 - IPC Civil remedies can be availed like Injunction orders to restrain society from disconnecting the water supply. Complaint should also be initially made to the Registrar of Cooperative Societies. Writ Petition under Art 226 in Bombay High Court - For violation of fundamental rights. Once the details are known, many such sections, acts, regulations, articles can be levied. All The Best.
