i think you can but still advise you to take his permission,there is no harm in taking permission
He hasnt even repaired our WC which is in bad shape, he said you do if u want i wont do. He is not approachable, however what is the maximum repurcation if i do it without permission. Any other way i can take permission from anywhere else.

at the most he can ask for destroying it,since you said he not approachable you have no other option
sen letter to him by regd post regarding building wooden loft . in said letter mention that if no reply received within period of 15 days it would be deemed that he has no objection regarding installation of loft in rented premises . also mention that you are willing to pay his charges if any for grant of permission .
This will be good as he does not accept any of our communication, rent or other request by registered post. May be it will make our case bit strong if he goes legal. Thank you all. If any more suggestions please post it.

You cannot lay a single brick without the prior permission of your landlord unless and until the agreement explicitly states otherwise.
If you carry out construction without his permission then he may legally proceed to terminate the tenancy on this ground.
If he is inaccessible then issue a lawyer's notice to him asking him to grant necessary permission for the needful to be done by you. If he does not reply to the notice, or refuses permission in his reply, move to court for seeking permission.
