Builder not handing over the accounts of the society

Our is industrial society registered in 2023 under MCS act,1960, the society with 72 members is registered by the builder and handed over to the provisional committee in the first constituted general body meeting on 31.01.2024.
Simultaneously all the legal document related to the society & premises handed over to the society office bearers.
but till date the builder is not handing over the society accounts - since 31.01.2024, in fact builder continue to collect the maintenance through its related company.
We (provisional committee) chasing the builder for more than 2 years - had several meetings with the builder & his team but they did not budge on handing over the accounts of the society.
My question is since we have all the documents related to the society & the premises except conveyance deed, what course of the action should we take for running the day-to-day work and accounts of the society.
which departments we can lodge complaint against the builder other than registrar of society, since the builder in question is very high profile and having very good hold on the government agencies locally, he holds our water supply too for which he is charging us separately other than maintenance charges.
i will be highly obliged if someone guide us on this situation and suggest if we need consultant to handle this situation

In civil when fact cleared at final argument stage

Dear sir
Some Fact in civil case cleared at the stage of final arguments. Now the question is what we should do at this stage because this fact can change the decision of case in our favour . Already we amend the plaint at the time of evidence stage but at amendment full plaint is not amended only one point amended which is not solving our case according to facts whichs we described to our advocate. now at final arguments stage we notice that our case is not according to that fact which is added by our advocate at foot notes in amendment . what we should do at this stage so that our case decision decided by facts our hands .

Selling a jointly held property by a co owner

hv a simple question.
Iam a 90 % disabled person with no ability to walk.
My mother died 5 yrs back. in May. we are 4 sisters and 1 brother.She left a detailed WILL on how to divide the property. This question pertains to the division of the plot or land. The concerned translated portion of the WILL is as under:
2 sisters r nri.
I decide through this WILL that the property of the plot as mentioned above should be given to all the four daughters and son in an equal proportion, which means they should become co-owners of the above property of the plot. But in future, due to any reason any of my son or daughter may expire, then the remaining alive heirs can distribute amongst them the above property of plot with their mutual consent, and they will be deemed as independent owners, and in this regard, my son or daughters or any third party and their heirs cannot create any objection or dispute, and if they will create such dispute or objection then it would be treated as null and void by virtue of this WILL. now, after 6 months i.e in the month of december, one of my sister passed away.

Now one of my sister says tht she hs sold off her portion of the plot to some buyer. the plot hsnot been divided. ALL the original papers r with me. they jst hv whtsapp copy. the nri sisters want some time to update their official papers.
can a coowner go and sell his portion without the consent of others and tht too without papers.
if this is legally permitted then i too shld go and sell it. the rest 2 wld follow later on.
Is this step legally valid because she claims tht her husband was a supreme court lawyer and hence understands law better. Actually, the prices of the plot hv increased. She is refusing to wait for remaining 2 and me. The buyer is now pressurising me to sell my portion to him through the same route.
i shall be thankful if u learned lawyers can throw some light and guide me.

ANAND JAIN


P.S: the plot is in my mom's name as of today.

Challenging a family settlement on the basis of fraud

Can a non-signatory legal heir challenge a family settlement on the basis of fraud, while the parties are still alive? Or is it better if a signatory party challenges the family settlement? The family settlement was executed before the court, where fraud was played upon a party as well as the court.

Sorry for being anonymous, but it's important.

Harassment

The husband took his wife's gold 25 years ago. He did not return it. Now that they are at odds, will the wife file a case of harassment? Will there be only a civil case? Will the time- limitation law be an obstacle?
