Can the current secretary be held responsible for continuing with wrongdoings ?

Dear All Eminent Lawyers,

Brief history :- Case of overbilling in a Mumbai, CHS. 

False and frivolous fines were levied on me, receipts were not given for maintenance cheques deposited in society bank accounts, cheques which were given for society maintenance were shown in some other account. 

All of this happened from 1996 till 2002. The secretary of that time has expired and his son is now the secretary .Finally in 2019 I filed a case of overbilling.

From 2019 till 2022 I sent many maintenance cheques by Registered AD. They were not accepted .The secretary of that time has expired. 

Finally I filed a case of overbilling against the society and the current secretary has signed on all papers prepared by the respondent lawyer who was appointed after a current managing committee resolution 

The current secretary has not withdrawn the fines , nor given receipts for payments made nor bothered to rectify the accounts.

 Now my queries:

1.    Will the law consider the current secretary responsible for not rectifying the wrongdoings and continuing with it.

2.    Can I file  a mental harassment and /or civil defamation case be filed against the current secretary?

3.    Is it worthwhile filling a mental harassment  and/or  civil defamation case considering the pathetic state of the Indian Legal System.

If there are any citations / links / judgements  pertaining to the above pls send the links.

Hope to see many responses and many thanks in advance for the same. 

Regards, 

Veerendra Darakh.

Since you have approached court for some relief, you may have to wait for the court to dispose your case by which you will get to know what reliefs have been granted and which were rejected.

Mental harassment is ongoing.

It may take a very long time for the current case to come to a conclusion. Therefore, I do not want to delay the other legal work and if possible and if there no legal or technical hurdles I wish to start with it ASAP.
