Can the watchman stay above the water pump room of a chs ?

Dear all eminent lawyers,

The office bearers of my  society have allowed the watchman

1. To construct a shed on the societies water tank. He and his family stay there.

2.To construct a toilet adjacent to pump room.

3.To construct a loft above pump room where he stays ,has food etc 

Please see the attached images.

Pls let me know is this legal.

Can this be called legal if the managing committee allows this.If not what are the legal options.

Hope to see a lot of responses and many thanks in advance.

Regards

Veerendra Darakh.

MC should not have allowed it. It's wrong practice. Tomorrow he will creat government documents and IDs. Better oppose it.

How to oppose ?

Where to oppose ?

What is the procedure ?

To which authority should I approach ?

T. Kalaiselvan, Advocate (Advocate)     02 April 2023

Management committtee is not an authority to allow such things in the CHS.

This is a major decision affecting the interests of all the members of the association/society.

There should be an approval through a resolutiuon passed by majority members in a special or general meeting of the association.

you along with other like minded members can raise this issue with the association secetary/president and object to this practice, if they do not agree or decline to acede your request, you can send a representation to the registrar of cooperative societies objecting this practice and to direct rthe association to remove such irregularities .

If the registrar is also not cooperating then you can make a complaint to the local civic body about this and look for solution.

The watchman or his family does not acquire any rights or title in the accomodation provided by the Society. The General body is certainly entitled to revisit the decision of the MC. However, the practical implications of unsettling a settled matter needs to be considered dispassionately.

Local municipal authority Not to be allowed any body to stay on water tank. One must remember that an overhead water tank should never be above the bedroom or kitchen. There can be stress, disturbed sleep and health issues if it is exactly above the sleeping area. The ground level water tank should be kept on a slab at least two feet above the ground level.
