2.1 This notice is about water seepage and leakage from the Recipient's Property into the Sender's Property.
2.2 Since June 2026 water has seeped through the common wall of the ground-floor bedroom after the Recipient built a new bathroom above it. The Sender spoke to the Recipient on 10 July and 2 August 2026 and nothing was done.
2.3 The Sender holds the following in support: Dated photographs from 12 July 2026, a plumber's inspection note, and a repair estimate of Rs 38,000.
