Society denying me permission to put grill outside my windows

Q: I stay in a CHS in Pune . The house has huge windows with typical sliding doors but having no grills. Since I have a small daughter, I find this extremely risky. In spite of me writing numerous times to the society managing committee, they deny permission to install a grill. They say that it is against the rules of the society since it spoils the aesthetics of the building. I had 2 questions in this regard :

1. What should I do in this scenario ? Am I well within my rights to go ahead and put a grill , defying the society ?
2. If the society imposes a penalty on me , what course of action should i take ?

Hi Ashwin!
I think you should take the advice of a legal expert in this matter. As they have better knowledge on it. Yes, you have to pay the nominal fee for that but you don't have to face the difficulties in future.

Hi,
When the members are dis-satisfied with the reply or non-reply or non-action of the managing committee, they turn their face towards the legal channels available to them. The most immediate channel is the Registrar of the Co-operative society. Therefore, the members can complain to the Registrar of co-operative societies by writing their grievances against their managing committee.
