Hello,
I live in Mumbai in an apartment with my family. For almost 2 years we suffered from the noise nuisance created by upstair flat occupant. There would be loud thumping noise on the ceiling in late night hours which would keep us awake.
We spoke with the builder (as society is not yet formed) but he didn't take any action. Then we registered a complaint in police station. Even that didn't help as the upstair occupant filed a reverse complaint using SC/ST atrocities act stating that we are harassing him because of his caste. The most unfortunate thing was that we had to give a written apology (since police said otherwise they will have to proceed as per sc/St atrocities act which involves arrest without Bail).
As we couldn't bear this harassment anymore & no other choice left, we shifted to another apartment & put the earlier flat on rent.
Now the tenant is also facing the same noise nuisance within 2 days of moving into the property. I don't know how do I teach that upstair person a lesson as he is misusing sc/St atrocities act to threaten us.
