use of residential premises of a co-operative society for official / professional purposes

i own a residential flat in a co-operative society in pune. i would like to state that i hv been using it as an office since the day of possession and the same is the case with many other members right from day 1 of the formation of the society. due to certain ego problems the newly elected managing committee members are trying to levy a penalty on such use of residential premises for official purposes.

i shall appreciate it if u could cite certain caselaws in our favour.
