We live on 3rd floor on a 3 storeyed Building / Chawl with common toilets only on the 2nd and 1st floor. My parents are getting old and they are finding difficult to access toilets downstairs. As it is a joint family clan, we are facing resistance to build one toilet on the 3rd floor. Could you provide me with information and any laws that can help me to build it. Any advice will be highly appreciated.

Hi
It is your constitutional right under Article 21 of Indian constitution,sanitaion in life guaranteed.
You should get permission from the munici basic pal authorities and start the construction
In case the other members in the building makes an objection you can aproach a court for directions and orders.
No one can stop you from having your right to have a toilet.
1. If you are one of the joint owners of the property having right on the area where you desire to construct the said toilet, then first get the plan for the said construction sanctioned by the local municipality/corporation,
2. After that file a police complaint against those who are resisting your said construction of toilet,
3. After that file a suit for declaration that you are the owner of the area where you wish to construct the said toilet,
4.Then simultaneously file an application praying for an order restraining those who resisted your said construction of toilet duly enclosing the copy of the police complaint as an evidence that those people have restrained your said construction,
5. Post the copy of the order to police seeking their help in case you get any further resistance in constructing the said toilet.
Having toilet at residence place is your right and no body can prevent you from constructing a toilet at your place but you have see no inconvinant to others . You have to properly connect the pipeline to drainage pipeline and to prevent leakage etc.,You can approach concerned municipal or concerned local authorities and with their help you can construct toilet.
With the consent of the majority of owners the toilet can be constructed. If there is no agreement to this effect then you may commence the construction and file a suit for injunction against the other members to restrain them from bringing the construction to a grinding halt.
