You have to give written application to society and call for a meeting. Put your problem in front of the society members.

If at all there is a threat and society is not providing proper security and ever have you felt that your security is at stake then you may approach the registrar and challenge the said bye law

I don't think that the extra metal gate should contradict any law or rule of state or society. Please read your by laws carefully. If it's mentioned there specifically that you cannot erect any extra gate in your premises then there may be some issue however since law doesn't stop you from it therefore you will be able to install your gate, provided it is not hurting the structure. 

You have to read your society bylaws carefully. I don't think there will be any such restriction as it's strange objection from society people. 

Consult lawyer if issue continues.

Yes you can install a metal door it is in your premises not  in the common area , see no such rule can be made as you can take steps to secure your premises, in case they raise objection it can be dealt legally.

  1. As per the information mentioned in the present query, makes it clear that the society has been thinking that their rules are much more bigger than the law of safety of the people of this country and their private right and liberty to decide their way to protect themselves.
  2. The rules are definitely against the law and as well as our fundamental rights enumerated in our Constitution.
  3. You should Now file a suit for permanent injunction before the civil court of law from restraining you for installing the metal door at front main door. You will surely get the justice and the society will get the answer to their unrealistic laws or rules.

Dear Madam

The association cannot stop you from taking step for your security and installation of second door of your house as it Is for your personal safety.

If they reject your plea you can file a written complaint to society registrar or move to court for Mandatory Injunction against the society for allowing you to install metal gate.
