Imposition of fine by society

Rohit Telang (Querist) 26 August 2018 This query is : Resolved
I have a flat in PCMC area of Pune.I kept tenants last year and gave the society police verification and agreement copy.This year in April I renewed the L&L agreement and gave the copy to the society.In June this year the society passed a resolution for giving police verification and agreement copy by the owners for existing and new tenants and a fine of Rs.5,000/- if not providing the documents.I gave the new agreement to society and informed them that the police verification was given last year.The society replied that they have misplaced the previous documents and asked the members to provide the copies of the previous police verification.The society extended the date for providing the copies but due to some communication gap I could not provide the previous copy of police verification.After the expiry of the date I managed to give the society a new police verification,but the society imposed a fine of Rs. 5000/- for providing it late.My request to them fell on deaf ears.
My question is if the society misplaced the previous documents can she fine me for not giving new docs on time? the society did not inform me of the extension of date through email on common floor.Is society justified in its acts and what is the remedy for me?

If you have acknowledgement of the documents submitted by you or have got the written proof of the society having admitted that the documents have been misplaced by the society, remedy lies in filing a case with the Sub-registrar of societies..

All members have submitted copies in response to call by society office bearer(s), since society misplaced the record.

The society must desist from Hitler like diktats.

Consult and engage a local prudent lawyer to challenge the resolution and action of the Society, it is invalid.
