In the query, no legal elements were found. The committee decided to build a permanent share and if you are against to it, say your opinion to the committee.

The bldg is maintained by Managing Committee of a Cooperative Housing Society or Residents Welfare Association since laws governing both of these bodies differ ?

Constructing a permanent shade for whatever reason or purpose it is stated is an alteration to the structure, which is not permitted to be done without the permission or approval of the local civic body or the competent authority.
The building committee cannot derive authority or rights to sanction approval or permission such illegal constructions.
If the notice has been served then it should be noted that the illegal structure has to be uninstalled or demolished immediately before any further legal steps are initiated by the authorities concerned.
