He is legally bound to do this

1. Society prsdient can give written notice and then forceable enter to hget repair done and recover charges. It is in all aparyhmetns acts of states.

2. You cna complain to development authoriuty or municipal corporation commissioner of area. 

3. Youc an complain to a megitarte who will summon him   and direct. It is a crm inal offesne.

If it routine defect in top floor artment fiiitngs he has to ebar expnses. if it is   structuralm issue and 3 years gone then both of you have to share 50-50.

It all depends on the age of your building, the type of Association/Society you have and its bye-laws and last but not the least,  the laws in Telengana. In the absence of above information I can also say that you can file a civil case against the upper floor resident/owner and the Association and try your luck.

All state follow similar acts for  group housing and partments.

Builder is liable to remove defects for 3 years from date of possession

The flat ownr above his flat bis legally bound to remove defect. 

It is also a crminal case

Al municipal acts have provisionsto deal with such nuisacne to  any member of town.

magistrate has powers to take congisacne and direct  to remove defect  otherwise the person may be  ent to jial and still he has to repair.

Socety normally does repair when it is srious safety issue of  buildings or intereference in common areas.

Can you guide me with regard to Acts and Sections pertaining to the upper floor member being sent to jail? More particularly I would like to know court decisions
