Sra society dispute

A dispute with your society regarding a sliding window installation! Let's break down the key points: 1. _Society's powers_: Check your society's by-laws and rules to understand their authority in such matters. 2. _No objection during installation_: Since no one objected during installation, it may be considered a tacit approval. 3. _Complaint made afterward_: The society may still raise concerns, but you have a valid argument since no objections were raised earlier. 4. _Your rights_: - You have the right to make alterations within your property, as long as they don't violate any laws or by-laws. - You also have the right to privacy, which is essential to consider. 5. _Addressing ventilation issues_: - Explore alternative solutions that meet both ventilation and privacy needs, such as: - Installing vents or grilles - Using glass or acrylic blocks for natural light - Implementing other creative solutions 6. _Negotiation and mediation_: - Try to resolve the issue amicably with the society - Offer compromises, like installing a different type of window or adding privacy screens 7. _Legal action (if necessary)_: - If the society still insists on removal, seek legal advice to understand your options - Prepare to argue your case, highlighting the lack of initial objections and your legitimate need for privacy Remember to stay calm, communicate effectively, and seek professional help if needed. Good luck resolving the dispute!

We do not know the exact nature of your action and its physical consequences. The area outside of your flat is common area. Does the installation of your sliding window would amount to encroach upon the common area or in restricting others from using the area? You should have taken prior permission of the society. The society can ask you to remove the sliding window.

Is it really the case that the new installation is causing inconvenience to the alleged complainant? Is there any lawful authority vested with the Committee to interfere in such issues?
