Harrasment by Block members in residential society

(Querist) 07 February 2011 This query is : Open 
Hello Experts, 'A' have a flat in one of Blocks in Housing Society and another independent tenament in a society some 11 km away from the said flat.

Now A and his father use the flat as a work place or office and the tenament as their residence. They come around 11am and work upto 7 pm. recently his father expired. Now A is not going to his flat for work regularly he goes only to do the patch up work and is looking for a job.

There are 12 flats/member in the Block. Every member of the Block where the flat is situated has to run the water motor to fill the water tank of the society from 6 am to 8 am in the morning and 5pm to 6pm in the evening.The turn to the above duty comes once in two months for 7 continous days.

As since last four year 'A' shifted from the said flat to tenament they could not do that i.e. run the motor as per the above mentioned schedule.

Now as a result 'A' was asked by the members to pay around Rs. 500 to 1000 per yearto any member of the Block to carry that duty as he and his family could not do that which was ultimately paid by 'A'


Since last year they told 'A' to come and do that or pay Rs. 1500 per year to carry out such work. So A opted to stay at his flat for a week and used to do the above mentioned work, he is doing it since last one year.

Now as A's father expired two months ago and as has family commitments 'A' is not visiting the flat regularly and is staying at the tenament 11km away from this flat with his family.

As 'A' cannot do ie. run the motor, he refused and requested the Block members that he cannot now come and stay here and do that as he now has more family commitments. Consequently somebody in the block has closed the water supply to A's house. They shutt off the cock which is on the terrace of the Block that is connected to a pipe to his house and allows the water supply. Now 'A' does not know who has done it as he visits the flat only 3 to 4 days in a week only to do some work.
'A' is paying regularly administration and maintenance charges to the BR(Block representative)which is around Rs. 2000 per year. The Society is a 22 year old Society there is no association. It is managed only by the BR in each block. A' pays the maintenances to the BR for which the BR doesnt even issue a receipt, only maintains a record in a Note Book.

Now what is the legal remedy available with 'A' against those whose shut down water supply of his flat. Can he file a police complaint but agaiinst whom can it be filed. what are the other remedies
available.

Kindly please guide what to do in this case
