This query is : Resolved
My apartment in Bangalore was built on a private land which had many trees on which lots of monkeys used to stay.
During apartment construction almost all the trees were cut. Now trees are not there but monkeys remained.
Even forest department had refused to reallocate the monkeys.
Problem is when monkeys come to my flat I give them some eatables which irks other residents who complain of eatables being thrown by monkeys in the surroundings and causing garbage around.
Some residents argue with me to not to feed the monkeys.
To monitor this association have used the public CCTV camera of the apartment to particularly monitor my flat from outside by focusing the camera to my flat's windows, doors which I think is breaching my privacy.
While filing police complaint which IPC can I use against this breach of privacy?
Also as per my knowledge it is not within the rights of apartment association to ban feeding of animals within the society premises especially if the animals themselves freely enter the premises.
Which IPC can I use for complaint against this ban?
Should I approach forest department or animal welfare board against this?

File civil suit against the association to remove focus of CCTV from your window / door. It violates your privacy.
If the monkeys are causing nuisance in the society, feeding should be discouraged.

Thanks Goyal sir for the reply.
Monkeys as such are not causing nuisance.
