You need to file suit for injunction ( mandatory and Prohibitory ) before civil court and get landlord restrained for not to make obstructions for required repairs.Contact to local and prudent lawyer for further proceedings who will guide you better.

Permission of appropriate Court / Rent Controller has to be obtained but not from BMC.

In my opinion, such essential and inevitable repairs does not require any permission so long as no structural changes are carried out.

The seepage of water from the roof can become precarious to the inhabitants creating an in habitable condition.
Hence a repair to the roof for rectifying the defects to ensure protection to the inhabitants of the rented premise can be taken up even if the landlord objects or is controlling the same through any anti social element from outside.
You can lodge a criminal complaint against the goonda/anti social element if he tries to interfere or creates any problem to you seeking protection from such elements.
If the landlord is still objecting or adopting any such tactics to stop you from getting the property repaired, you may approach the rent control court or civil court seeing n order of injunction against the landlord restraining him from indulging in such activities which endangers your habitable conditions in the rented premises and permit you to proceed with the proposed repair to roof which is essential for the safety of the inhabitants of the premise.
