I need some advise from you regarding below mentioned situation:
Our neighbor is carrying out his house renovation. One of the contractor’s employees laid some paint buckets, brushes and rollers and was washing all these stuffs in front of our door in the floor corridor. I requested this particular guy to move all these stuffs and wash it in their house or wash it at some other place. Hearing this the Flat owner came burning in fire and tried to bog me down by saying that you cannot ask me what to do where and starting misbehaving with me and my mother. During this heated argument between us, he picked up a hammer like tool used for puncturing wall plaster and tried to hit me, but he didn’t. he did this 2 times during our argument to frighten me, but i didnt stop to answer his unethical behavior. and above that his contractor also started arguing with us.
The owner of the house is an active committee member in our society positioned as Executive Officer. I would like to know how and which type of legal action can i take against him or under MCS ACT. Would appreciate your valuable advise.
