Cooperative hsg. society


The Society with no bye-laws has been collecting maintenance charges inequitably.

I have been pursuing the matter before the Cooperative Courts since 1999. The Cooperative Tribunal (in April 2016) gave an equitable order to charge maintenance charges as per Rule 135 of the Goa Cooperative Societies Act 2001 and Rules 2003 (GCS) from date on which the said rule came into force, which is being resisted by the Society.

Rule 135 states: 135. Contribution for repairs and maintenance expenses. – A member shall pay contribution to the society at the rate per square metre of the built up area/supper built area or each unit as may be provided on an equitable basis in the by-laws of the society.

Some members of the Society, particularly those who are on the BoD (Management) have two flats or more besides garages, paying maintenance charges on the basis of one flat, are agitated as their pecuniary interest are disturbed and have gone to HC (thro’ the Secretary of the Society) to have the order quashed, by carrying out a colorable exercise.

The crux of the matter is that the Secretary of the Society occupies 2 flats and 2 garages; his 2 brothers also hold 2 flats and 2 garages each; their partnership firm has 3 flats and 3 garages. The partnership firm is unlawfully using the flats for commercial purpose without the permission of the Municipality. Collectively, the Secretary, his 2 brothers and the firm hold 9 flats and 9 garages (totally 18 units, [44%]) in the Society. The 4 members pay on the basis of one flat each, just like the 17 single flat owners in the Society, deriving pecuniary benefits and loss to the Society. Their maintenance contribution is an inadequately 9.75% of the expected revenue to the Society. The Society has 2 identical buildings with 16 flats each, 1 building with 9 garages, and 24 members - 7 members have 2 or more flats.

The Society has statutory right to appeal before the Cooperative Tribunal. Instead the Society has approached the HC knowing very well that I can ill-afford a litigation before the HC. The Society/ Secretary has engaged a high-profile advocate to fight their unjust cause, creating conflict of interest. The HC has stayed the operation of the order of the Cooperative Tribunal in WP under Article 227 of the Constitution of India. The rights of the 17 single flat owners are ignored and violated.

How do I get the stay orders vacated? Will the matter be decided by the same judge or how do I get a different judge to hear the matter afresh?

Hi respected Experts
Please guide in the following case....

A lady (X) filed maintenance case against a man (Y)alleging him as her husband and father of his son.
Where as, said man is a government employee, already married having a son and married daughter.
Y who filed a maintenance case filed xerox copies of BPL ration card obtained fradulently, xerox copy of 10th class mark sheet of her son, aadhar card of her son, wherein the name of employee (X)is also mentioned in the columns of father.
But no marriage took place between these (X) and (Y). So marriage was denied.
(X) contended that (Y) is servant-made, while entering the house she is pregnant,her character is very loose(Prostitute), previously she made a complaint on another person for rape allegation and grabbed money...all these facts the respondent mentioned in his counter...and produced an endorsement issued by the local births & deaths authority stating that no registration of birth is made in the names of said son or petitioner and respondent as parents.
Whereas the school authority who confirmed the genuineness of SSC certificate of said boy, wherein name of the father is mentioned (X) eventhough the respondent says that said lady misused his name and joined her son by stating his name as father, but he never signed in any school declaration as parent.
The respondent submitted that his wallet has been stolen once in a long time, he lost his PAN Card and other proofs, then said lady servant-made utilised the situation and corrected relevant necessary records started blackmailing him for which he never responded.
At this juncture how the case should be leaded ??
Shall this respondent ask for DNA test or burden of proof lies on the petitioner prove her case by way of DNA test to her son ??
If the respondent has to ask of DNA test on what grounds in which procedure and process he should file a petition before the Judicial First Class Magistrate where the case is conducting please be suggested to win the Maintenance case by the respondent for which act of kindness I shall be thankful to you all
