Is CCTV inside Girls PG legal in India?


08-Feb-2023 (In Landlord/Tenant Law)
My Landlord has installed CCTV inside Girls PG. It is not in my room or bathroom but everywhere else including entrance, stairs, kitchen. In some cameras you can also see the door of the room. Is it a legal practice in India? Who gives the permission to install camera inside private life of a person and what right does he have on all the footage he has of girls walking up and down of stairs? What can you do if you were not informed at first about the CCTV?
