Installing a CCTV camera pointing at your private terrace, especially areas used for bathing and personal activities, constitutes a serious invasion of privacy and is a criminal offense under Section 354C of the IPC (Voyeurism) and Section 66E of the Information Technology Act. You are advised to immediately send a strict Legal Notice to your neighbor demanding the realignment or removal of the camera; if they fail to comply, you have the right to file an FIR at the local police station or approach the Civil Court for a mandatory injunction to protect your privacy.

Hlw, I am Adv Hritam Banerjee, saw your query about the CCTV Camera . In this situation you can send him a legal notice and if he doesn't reply then you can file a case against him because it is a breach of privacy.
