camera installation in living room and kitchen in a co owned property

Dear Client, 
Each co-owner has equal right to possession and enjoyment of every part of the property, unless there is a written partition or agreement. No co-owner can exercise his right in a manner that violates the privacy or peaceful enjoyment of the co-owners.
Installing cameras without consent of other co-owners will violate the Right to Privacy under Article 21. 
For any further legal guidance, feel free to contact us. 

Dear Client, Installing cameras in a living room or a kitchen area without the consent of all the members of the building or the house where the cameras are being installed interferes with the right of the other members of the building or house to have a private life. Such actions may result in legal complications, including a police complaint under the provisions of the recording of private spaces. I hope this answer is helpful. In case of further queries, please do not hesitate to contact us. 
Thank You.

Dear Client,

In a property that is co-owned by three brothers, each of the owners has an equal right to use and enjoy the common area unless there are some specific family arrangement or a court order that states otherwise. If one of the owners seeks to install CCTV cameras in the living room and kitchen, which are shared spaces, the legality of such an action shall be based on consent and purpose. One co-owner cannot unilaterally install surveillance objects without the knowledge or consent of the other co-owners, especially in the present case, where it provides exclusive access to one person. If an action is taken against the unilateral surveillance, without the knowledge or consent of the other parties, it will result in the violation of privacy. The right to privacy is recognised as a fundamental right under Article 21 of the Constitution. 

If this surveillance is found to be a medium to intimidate, control or harass the other co-owners or occupants, the aggrieved may approach the civil court to restrain the installation or operation of the camera under the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. If the cameras are misused to record private moments or the distribution of images, audio or video, without consent, it may attract criminal liability under the Information Technology Act, 2000. The practical course of action will be to get the written consent of all the co-owners and residents with full knowledge, clear limitations and access related to the use. If you have any further queries, please feel free to contact us.
