Sir/Madam,

You may jointly put in money and then get it repaired. The problem seems to be technical and should be resolved mutually. The society can do nothing in such a case.

Sir if it is an internal lekar serve the flat owner with a legal notice along with a copy to society to repair within stipulated time.

If the flat owner fails to repair then firstly lodge a complaint with BMC for nuisance on leakage under section 381 BMC act the BmC shall take action.

Further a civil suit and madentaory injection can be filed against the owner in civil court as there is damage caused to your property due to his negligence.

Section 381 BMC act.

[2] [(1) (i) For the purposes of this section a nuisance shall include -

(a) any pool, ditch, tank, well, pond, quarry-hole, drain, water course or any collection of water; or

(b) any cistern or other receptacle for water or any article or thing capable of collecting rain water during the monsoon season whether within or outside a building; or

(c) any land on which water accumulates or is likely to accumulate; or

(d) any premises or any part of any premises occupied, or unoccupied, or under construction, reconstruction or demolition; which in the opinion of the Commissioner is, or is likely to become a breeding place of mosquitoes or which is, in any other respect, a nuisance as defined in clause (3) of section 3.

(iii) The Commissioner may also by any notice under clause (ii) or by another notice, served on such person, owner, lessee and occupier, or on any one or more of them, require them or any one or more of them, to take all steps requisite or necessary to prevent a recurrence of the nuisance and may, if he thinks it desirable, specify any work to be executed or measures to be carried out for that purpose, and may serve any such further notice notwithstanding that the nuisance may have been abated or removed if he considers that it is likely to recur:

Provided that if at any time within four months from the date of the service of any such notice, the nuisance recurs through the failure of the person or persons upon whom such notice has been served to comply with the requirements contained in such notice, such person or persons shall be liable without any further notice to the penalties provided in this Act for offences under this section.

(iv) Where the nuisance arises or exists or is likely to arise or recur in connection with the construction, reconstruction or demolition of any premises, or any part of any premises, the Commissioner may in addition to serving any notice on any one or more of the persons mentioned in clause (ii) serve any such notice on any architect, contractor or other person employed to carry out such work of construction, reconstruction, or demolition and also on any sub-contractor employed by such contractor or other person, or any one or more of such contractor, person and sub-contractor.]
