Hello,

Generally roof terrace is common area. So they are entitle for access to common area i.e. terrace. Visit local advocate and show the document executed between you and developer for more detailed advice.

If you had not given any terrace rights ( specifically mentioned in sale deed ) to first and second flat owners then they or their successors can not claim else terrace would be deemed common for all.

If there is nothing mentioned in the sale deed regarding the terrace area, then it is deemed to be a common area for all.

there is any role of police if they will go police station. we know till the lock down court is closed.

1. IT is a prosecutable offence to lock Terrace, more so specifically since exclusive Terrace rights CANNOT be claimed by anybody.

Yes. Seems to be a repeated query. A query on bachha flat was replied.

Repeated query.
Please appreciate the fact that repetition of same story, where you have already been obliged by experts, will not change the opinion and advise.
However, if you are not satisfied with obligation of experts/ respondents, it would be better to consult and engage a local prudent lawyer for appreciation of facts/ documents, professional advise and necessary proceeding.
Whatsoever, repetition is absurd and ridiculous, please avoid.

Please seek a paid up conference with an Advocate.

A terrace or rooftop is a common area of in a residential society which is for the enjoyment and benefit of all its members.
There is no legal bar to sell the roof right to one particular flat owner but that does not mean the access to roof for essential service like water connection , plumbing, electricity etc.
See you have right to access the terrace it cannot be locked all the members have undivided share in the society common area and the terrace is part of the common area
The basic rule is that ownership of the roof, it's space and the air space above should be expressly granted, as otherwise it remains with the Freehold. That said, if silent, it is also a question of fact as to what the common intention was between the original grantor and grantee.
