Any construction being carried out has to be approved from the local municipal office, and if the there is permission alloted by them then it will be taken as legal otherwise its illegal. Ask the society to produce a construction permission of municipality

No construction is permissible in the stilt floor, not even a partition wall. That's because stilt parking is a common space in the society and the same cannot be encroached.

Society has illegally encroached this common area and erected contributions thereupon.

Send them a letter calling upon to demolish the illegal structure and restore the original position.

You can straight away challenge it as it violates their right fundamental right of living without any public engeferance.

It can be done at High Court under the Writ of Mandamus for directions to the concerned authority to not to construct, and then make society also the party as the area is for whole society members if it has to be given then even one divert vote can make a difference.

You can contact me through Kanoon I can tell you the further procedure.

1. No constructions of permanent nature is allowed in any premises without the sanctioning of the building permit by the local authority or the Municipality. S first check on that account.

2. Refer to the deed and bye laws of the society. if the area is earmarked solely for the purpose of stilt parking only then no other constructions is permissible.

3. Only of there was prevision for sch constructions in the sanctioned building plan of the society then and then only it can be built subsequent and not otherwise.

4. So the members can file a suit for injunction or lodge complaint with the registrar for issuance of ' stop work' notice. The Municipality can also be informed of this illegal stricture.

As per the apartment act the second owner have no authority to vote in a jointly owned flat. But there are some decisions of the High Courts in this regard that the second owner may contest and vote as well.

The RWA have powers to take decisions for welfare of the society and construction of toilet may be done as this is not a policy decision.

The approval of the AGM is needed for the matters of great interest and making big effect or change.

Construction of toilet in the space allotted to car parking is deviation from the approved plan and can be illegal and liable to be demolished.

The association cannot indulge into such illegal activity even if ther was a resolution passed in the general meeting.

The residents/members can protest and object to such illegal structures.

You hav an option to either to issue notice to the association for stop any such construction which is violating the approved plan of the apartments especially violating the car parking space or to lodge a complaint with the local civic body about this illegal structure proposed to be constructed or can approach civil court with a suit for mandatory injunction against the society .
