Yes you should initiate legal action. A civil suit for mandatory injunction can be filed before the District Judge seeking directions to upper floor residents to get it repaired at the earliest. Do seek an expert opinion

If you are facing persistent water leakage issues originating from the upper-floor flat, which is causing damage to your property and mental harassment. This constitutes a civil wrong, and you have several legal remedies available. Firstly, it is advisable to send a legal notice to the upper-floor residents, requesting immediate cessation of the leakage, appropriate repairs, and compensation for any damage already caused. The notice should also highlight the inconvenience and mental distress being caused due to their negligence. If they fail to act, you may file a civil suit for injunction and damages before the appropriate court, seeking directions for necessary repair work to be carried out and compensation for the loss or inconvenience caused. Additionally, you can approach your Resident Welfare Association (RWA) or Housing Society, if applicable, to intervene and mediate the issue. They may direct the upper-floor residents to resolve the problem promptly. In case of deliberate neglect or abusive behavior, you may also file a police complaint for nuisance or harassment under relevant provisions of the Indian Penal Code.
