Collection of maintenance charges based on square foot

This seems to be a peculiar problem to Karnataka wherein the charges for maintenance of common facilities in an apartment complex, which are equally available for all residents of the complex to use, is charged on the basis of the square feet of each of the flats! I find this rather ridiculous given that the access to a swimming pool or a gym or a squash court is the same for every resident irrespective of the size of their apartment! Hence wanted to understand the legal tenability of this basis of charging?

Thanks for your inputs in advance.

Please o through the bye-laws of the memorandum of association about the conditions as well as the maintenance charges to be implied and the basis of charging the same from the residents.  If you find it discriminative to that of the standard procedure being followed up universally, you may take up the matter with the association for amending the same through a resolution in the next GB meeting or you can approach court of law if you do not get justice here in the local.
