Can I install CCTV in common areas to prevent false allegations?
I live in Faridabad, Haryana. In my building, each floor belongs to a separate owner. I live on the 2nd floor, and there's no one above me. My 2nd-floor neighbor, due to longstanding animosity, lodged a false complaint, alleging that my father abused his wife while going down the common staircase. Our neighbor had threatened us in the past, so two years ago, I installed CCTV cameras above my door and on my rooftop. Can CCTV cameras be installed in other sections of the common staircase without compromising anyone’s privacy, so we can refute future false allegations? I’m okay with making the footage accessible to all three residents of the building.
CCTV installation in common areas of the building is allowed if it does not infringe on the privacy of others. You can install cameras in common staircases, but ensure they are directed only at areas that are public, not private spaces. It's best to inform all residents to avoid any conflicts or misunderstandings. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
