Sir,

The residential apartment which is badly suffering with lack of ground water and purchasing tankers throughout the year continuously. however, some nearby individual houses are providing municipal water connections. The flat owners are paying municipal taxes, but the municipality is denying to provide water connections for each flat by saying they will provide only five connections to the apartment where 48 flats are constituted. Is it just and legal. The flat owners does have any right to get connections individually.

File a writ petition in high court. Your problem should be solved by this measure.

Filing writ petition in High court may solve the problem.

Trying through local political representatives is another avenue to solve the problem.

It is not a rule that they will restrict to only 5 tap connections, as advised by experts, you may consult an advocate and file a writ before high court seeking direction to municipal authorities to provide water supply connection to all the apartments,before that all of you should have approached individually or collectively through society for individual connection and got a reply denying the same.

1. FIRST duly obtain the "only five connections to the apartment" and THEN file the WP for discrimination and inequality of rights granted under the democratic constitution.

2. HOWEVER, kindly ensure that the 48 apartment building is a legally approved and sanctioned construction, to be eligible to get Municipal water supply connections.
